re: T-Mobile: Summertime & the LTE is SpeedyThat was fast, and Sprint is enhancing the value of its service contracts rather than eliminating them. Now you can guarantee Unlimted text, talk and data while on the Sprint network for the life of your line. Sprint also lowered the threshold for Unlimited to $80 per month, and extended the number of lines to 10 on one account with incentives to add more lines. This is the just first round of the 2013 4G Wars, and its only Summertime where the livin is easy. & the LTE is speedy".
re: T-Mobile: Summertime & the LTE is SpeedyI don't get Sprint's strategy with LTE per se. By sticking with all the small markets they let TMUS come from behind when they should have been plenty ahead. I do recall they blamed suppliers for equipment delays so maybe that explains it.
re: T-Mobile: Summertime & the LTE is SpeedyI saw a report last week that showed TMUS with 7 officially announced markets and numerous signals spotted, while Sprint tallied 110 LTE + 71 WiMax markets. So, I guess TMUS wanted to JUMP over Sprint's total for LTE.
re: T-Mobile: Summertime & the LTE is SpeedyWell that was fast! Sprint just announced lowered prices ($80) on its data service and that it will guarantee unlimited data services to those that stay with it: http://newsroom.sprint.com/new...
re: T-Mobile: Summertime & the LTE is SpeedyTMUS is leveraging both HSPA+ 42 and LTE in the 4G coverage race, with commercial LTE service available now in 116 metros, 73 of the top 100 markets. Once they start leveraging MetroPCS spectrum they can quickly add capacity to support data usage growth. As the UnCarrier, TMUS is also disrupting the US mobile market by liberating customers from contracts and allowing them to JUMP - or swap phones every six months. I wonder how this positioning will influence Sprint now that the Softbank and Clearwire mergers have been completed?
re: T-Mobile: Summertime & the LTE is SpeedyYeah, people ignored the family plan update because of the sexy JUMP plan but it's brutally going after Sprint.
$100 a month. 4 lines 4G/LTE data NO CREDIT CHECK.
SoftBank/Sprint is going to need some fresh answers if Legere & co. is going to play this rough.
re: T-Mobile: Summertime & the LTE is SpeedyI agree that we'll see a price war, but I think it'll also be more of a business model war. Sprint says it's sticking with unlimited post-mergers and now T-Mobile is introducing new JUMP plans [Just Upgrade My Phone]. I think most consumers just want to do what's easiest, but A LOT are feed up with contracts, fees and high prices. I wouldn't be surprised if more start to look seriously at the smaller two players.
