I think everyone should volunteer to have one put on their house. such a little thing, no wonder they are talking about putting them on top of all the walmarts.
I think the problem with new york city is sheer number of towers to get around all the skyscrapers. there's a reason that at&t's coverage in new york is so shoddy. not to mention sprint is probably looking at their market share in each area as well. why put it in new york first if everyone in new york has verizon or at&t. sprint is very popular in texas and north carolina because they are probably number 1 with military bases. 2 biggest military bases are in texas and north carolina.
also, sprint does a lot of signal testing in corpus christi texas, so it probably wasn't a reach to spread out through texas.
