Tulsa, OK | Re: It is war and AT&T & V want Sprint & TMO to die Exactly. The FCC needs to be the regulator it is supposed to be and stop being the subsidiary of. I have little hope of either changing soon.
A great start would be whatever Verizon or AT&T asks for, look to do the exact opposite.

Chesterfield, MO | Are you kidding me? Verizon now wants spectrum allocation to be fair? I know it's all perspective. If you don't have enough, you want forced sharing. If you have a bunch, you want to keep it.
It's kind of like the 99% vs. 1%. The 99% are green (no environmental) toward the 1% and the 1% never think they have enough. | |

| | | Re: Are you kidding me? A) Sprint has more spectrum than Verizon FACT
B) Verizon has given or sold plenty of spectrum. They just sold a some to at&t and more to DOZENS of smaller companies and they GAVE spectrum to t-mobile. Sure sounds like they want to kill off the competition. | |

Chesterfield, MO | Verizon can bid for Clearwire and it's spectrum holdings the same as Sprint and Dish -- at least when they aren't busy supporting rate hikes by dark accounting that pushes wireless costs into the regulated side of their business. | |

I doubt A is true.. Sprint got into the wireless game quite late.. the other RBOCS had it since Ma Bell days.. and the holdings have gotten MORE robust for them not less..
Also, if you compare the QOS between AT&T, Verizon and ANY of the other competitors you see they are at a disadvantage. They are also lower in spectrum, towers, footprint and customers. Even if Sprint has more spectrum, they're not utilizing it correctly.. when was the last time you saw Sprint realigning their 700 mhz spectrum for general tower use?!? Virtually NONE of the 3rd party tower networks are capable of transmitting on those frequencies.. IF they want to use 700 mhz they have to build their own networks.
Most of the common bands (irrespective of modulations/standards are in the high 800s to 2000mhz) | |

EARTH | They all play these games Sprint was all mad with the AT&T&T merger, even though it would have boosted Sprint in a big way. They are all fighting each other, at least in public. | |

| | | Re: They all play these games exactly. Sprint is out there messing with other companies spectrum rights too.
Sprint and T-mobile are just deep into the games as Verizon and AT&T. | |
