John Legere on USA – Deutsche Telekom Capital Markets Day 2015

[Shilohcane]

Long winded presentations to investors in Europe but shows the Map of where TMO will be at the end of 2015. Get interesting about 30 Minutes into the presentation when Neville Ray talks about the networks upgrades. Also, in the end John Legere talks a little bit about a partnership with Dish that owns the 5th largest telecom spectrum in the USA but has no telecom towers. Dish much get part of their spectrum up and running by 2016 or have to return it to the FCC. Dish also has other spectrum that must be up and running by 2017 & and more by 2019.

Iowa has US Cellular that owns the 700 Mhz Block A that T-Mobile would need in a rural area. I am sure the TMO will be using some other higher band spectrum in Iowa soon. Here is a Map of the 700Mhz Block A spectrum where TMO may not get that spectrum.

Cspire is a regional carrier that owns some of the southern states that haven't deployed that spectrum but will have to return major parts back to the FCC if it isn't in use by the end of 2016.

Contunuum Wireless is another spectrum squatting group that got a major FCC discount that is only holding that spectrum hostage for a major profit.

So what's the deal with Nebraska then?'

700 mhz aside, why does tmobile have ZERO 1700/1900/2100 deployed inside Iowa/Nebraska?

I'm just a customer not a expert that been reading a lot on HowardForums about T-Mobile's upgrades. This T-Mobile map shows they have spectrum with two tabs. One tab for data and one for voice in Iowa and Nebraska. Check Cell Phone Coverage and Signal Strength in Your Area | T-Mobile
