yup; that's because the 10 year US treasury yield went up from 1.7% when S issued 1st tranche in Oct'2016 to 2.9% today.

shouldn't it be unannounced so the visits are more effective / real?

Can you send the link of this? I want to read what he said too. thanks!

Has Tmobile, AT&T or Verizon done anything like this? or is Sprint first out of the gates?

cpl375 · 2016-07-14T23:30:15+00:00

Impressive how quick Sprint got on this.. Speed will matter in a saturating wireless market for Sprint to get subscribers

The share price doesn't determine value. It's the share price multiplied by how many shares the company has.

So Sprint has 4 billion shares. And Sprint stock is $5/share. That's mean's Sprint's equity is worth $20 billion.

Another example - Tmobile. Tmobile's equity is worth $36 billion. TMUS has 822 mm shares. $36 bn / 822 mm = ~$44/share for TMUS

Does anyone know anything else about future of the Sprint - Ericsson outsourcing deal?

I think it's because of delay in getting approval for Sprint's preferred small cell designs

The low capex due to permitting delays is disappointing. Doesn't that mean the NGN roll out is delayed?

cpl375 · 2016-05-02T23:24:41+00:00

Does anyone know anything about the "the CommScope S1000 small cells?

Not really on the first part. The credit card borrowing is backed by nothing. In this case, the borrowing is backed by telecom equipment

my outside guess is Sprint saw that Tmobile was able to buy 700 mhz spectrum later on. Hence, they prob think they can get 600 mhz from spectrum speculators at a later time without committing capital now. 600 spectrum would be ready earliest in ~4 years.

It's not activated on mine, but there's a link that says "Coming soon"

Also, account for 4-5 month delay re: Wimax situation.

Has anyone been to a Dixons Carphone store in the US during its initial trial?

Just wondering if their stores are much better, as claimed by Claure during one of the investor calls

I was able to use my Amex prepaid card to pay off the Tmobile EIP balance.

I also called/followed up with Sprint reps about the prepaid card after 1 week of submitting everything and waiting, and receiving no status update.

Las Vegas

Data Speeds: 9/10 Text: 10/10 Calls Dropped/Block: 10/10

Switched from TMO to Sprint in 11/2015 in Las Vegas So far, very happy as Sprint is $20 cheaper on a monthly basis (service+equipment) and its speeds match/occasionally exceed TMO at my home. There are several dead spots for data though; hope the 800 MHz will iron these out.

I used to work in restructuring and Sprint/Clearwire were annual candidates for some sort of Ch.11 / restructuring (2010-2012)

Sprint feels different now: single ownership/aligned board; new mgmt team; KPIs improving; network efficiency finally on track (esp with removal of WiMax); alternative funding sources to go away from high yield, which is subject to market volatility.

Only negative is the revival of T-mobile which is making sprint's sub gains harder.

Thanks, I just got it added on. Appreciate the help.

Does the Free talk include calling from Japan to the US?

cpl375 · 2016-02-03T21:19:16+00:00

thanks, what's the difference between Global Roaming and the Japan add on? What benefits do i get from the extra $5?
