Better lock your plans in right before they take over!

Re: deutsche-telekom-eyeing-sprint-nextel-for-acquisition/
I recall hearing this before quite a few months ago. Guess they're getting serious about it.

Re: TMobile to Buy Sprint?

Re: TMobile to Buy Sprint?
never going to happen a gsm carrier wouldnt buy a cdma one cause the network would b useless
|
Re: TMobile to Buy Sprint?
The source from the whole thing isn't reliable, plus I wouldn't want T-Mobile messing around with Sprint now that Sprint seems to be going well these past two months. It'd be better if T-Mobile feed that money into its U.S. counterpart's 3G network and compete with AT&T as the preferred GSM option.

Re: TMobile to Buy Sprint?
then why did att buy some of alltel?
|
Re: TMobile to Buy Sprint?
yea if anything, verizon will buy sprint IMO....because of the whole gsm, cdma issue. why would one company want two different types of standards on there phones? and if would just cost too much money and time to replace everyones phones to one or the other.

and yeah buying other networks with different technologies doesn't work just ask Sprint Nextel. funny thing actually Dan Hesse (CEO Sprint) flat out said in an interview the other day that buying Nextel was a huge mistake that shouldn't have happened i really need to learn how to multi-quote |

Re: deutsche-telekom-eyeing-sprint-nextel-for-acquisition/
Don't worry; this "report" comes from the Telegraph. It's as reputable as a blog.
If you actually read to article, you will see words like: "T-Mobile and Orange are expected to..." "DT will probably..." "It is understood that DT has been..." "It is thought DT will also..." "DT, Sprint and Deutsche Bank all refused to comment." These are just rumors and speculation. There is no news here. |

T-Mobile Eyeing Sprint...

GSM and CDMA is not going to be an issue for long. 4G technologies are being rolled out. Sprint and Nextel are pretty much the only ones supporting WIMAX, with pretty much every other major carrier in the world going to LTE, including Verizon. In the next few years, as the world rolls out LTE, Verizon phones will be able to roam on Europe / Asia networks without the need for two types of cellular radios. Right now would be a PRIME time to buy a CDMA carrier. As networks are rolled over to 4G standards... why wouldn't now be a better time to halt Wimax and wait for the roll over to LTE ? Something would have to happen soon as Sprint is in the middle of Wimax roll out. |

Here is my worry. Right now Sprint allows roaming on other CDMA carrier networks. If Verizon (Largest network in the US) isn't around for roaming... what will that mean for future service levels. |

also interesting: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/0...uld-be-easy-t/ turns out clearwire, who is handling the actual deployment and maintenance of the wimax network says they're ready to jump to LTE if they need to |
Re: deutsche-telekom-eyeing-sprint-nextel-for-acquisition/
Not sure how a Wimax phone would roam on a LTE network. They are like CDMA and GSM.
I think the world would be done justice if everyone adopted one standard. Makes it cheaper for Motorola to produce the infrastructure, and makes it cheaper for handset designers, and the consumers win in the end with the possibility of world wide roaming (without having to cellular radios). |

as for wimax and lte roaming, it wouldn't happen, different techs different frequencies; just like you said |
Re: deutsche-telekom-eyeing-sprint-nextel-for-acquisition/

Clearwire sounded confident it'd be an easy change-over so there must be something about the technology we don't know about or Clearwire is BS-ing everyone which I suspect but since LTE is up off the ground or proven its a ways away till we worry, by then WiMax should have a greater span anyway. |

The minute you want to upgrade your phone (and/or you lose your phone and have to get a replacement through insurance)... you're done. That counts as an ESN/MEID swap and they force you into one of their plans. :disgust: This has been my experience anyway.... |
Re: deutsche-telekom-eyeing-sprint-nextel-for-acquisition/
I just don't see this happening. Sprint is currently maintaining the iDEN network, as well as their CDMA network. IF T-Mo took over, they would need to maintain both Sprint networks, as well as the GSM for quite some time. Eventually, if T-Mo/Sprint stopped releasing CDMA phones, they would no longer need to maintain the CDMA towers, and could shut them down, or convert them to GSM only. Plus, T-Mo plans are a rip-off, once you add data and text messaging. The only good thing about T-Mo right now is their phones accept SIM cards.

Re: deutsche-telekom-eyeing-sprint-nextel-for-acquisition/
Let's also not forget why a buyout of Sprint wouldn't happen. Sprint just paid Ericsson $5 billion to handle all sales and customer service so Sprint can completely focus on R&D. That's a MONSTER arrangement that would be incredibly messy in a buyout attempt.
