Re: Planning, anyone? It is not easy to get a DS3 line to a random tower located on the roof top of a building or out in the middle of wooded area somewhere. That just doesn't happen overnight.
Sprint does not own the COs -- they typically negociate with the local telocos for relay service -- and as we know, those telecos love to drag their feet.
At the same time, Sprint doesn't want to pay for 40 - 50 mbps per tower. It just doesn't make sense financially. Instead, they are placing POPs (Points of Presence) at certain locations with a VERY large pool of bandwidth. Other towers in the area then access that pool. Much more efficient. |
