By Jonathan Kramer, on September 20th, 2011% I have to wonder whether the following might happen:
1. The Department of Justice is successful in its suit to block the proposed AT&T&T merger or AT&T gives up, pays T-Mobile the $6B cancellation fee; and then

By Jonathan Kramer, on July 30th, 2011% I’ve already typed a bit about Sprint’s Network Vision project from the perspective of landlords, but this topic certainly deserves much more coverage.
Certainly, Sprint’s initiative to deploy a new technology scheme that allows others to sublease transmission capacity at Sprint sites changes the game for everyone, especially site landlords with legacy leases that don’t . . . → Read More: Sprint’s Network Vision Project – A Game Changer
By Jonathan Kramer, on April 15th, 2011% Today’s (4/15/11) AGL Bulletin carries a buried-lead story about Sprint’s deployment of new, flexible base stations that are multi-modal, multi-band, and potentially multi-user.

By Jonathan Kramer, on August 9th, 2009% That’s COWs as in Cells on Wheels. I was digging through my collection of cell site photos and ran across a few I hadn’t posted from the October 2007 fires in Orange County. I’ve added a few photos of AT&T’s cow, and Nextel’s 20KW portable generator. The photos are in the CellularPCS.com/gallery/ in the COWs . . . → Read More: Cows in Action!
