Yes and I quote
" The first is the U.S. Federal Communication Commission's 2010 decision to eliminate the "Home Market Rule", which prevented carriers from forcing rivals into compulsory roaming agreements in regions they owned spectrum (AT&T voiced its frustration at the time). The elimination means that even though Sprint owns spectrum in these two metropolitan regions, it can refuse to use that spectrum, instead renting it out and relying on compulsory roaming from AT&T."
The second regulatory change is the FCC's 2011 "extended" roaming rules (a link to these rules on the FCC's servers appear to be inaccessible at present), which required carriers to offer high speed broadband roaming to small rivals, as well as voice services. Again this allows Sprint to piggyback off of AT&T's high-speed LTE network in these metro regions."
How else should take this?

You can aready roam on different networks, from my understanding its full time roaming. But I do not know that's why I asked
Sent from my PG86100 using Xparent Red Tapatalk
they ARE NOT selling contracts at&t! they are using at&t's network as their cellular backbone in those cities. same thing as roaming onto a verizon network.
how can they do it? more than likely they will be placing the proper equipment on already established at&t towers. same as the local telco hanging copper on power poles.
For god's sake, find yourself some cozy place to discuss Sprint services other than this forum section. Jesus, E3D isn't only a Sprint product, FYI, there is GSM version, and they sell it all over the world, you know, and it's pretty popular.
Yea I know theirs a gsm one, and at&t ppl can talk about at&t if they want.

Isn't it kinda semantics? Their using laws to make at&t let their customers onto at&t full time network, I am sure sprint has 2 pay at&t for this, so they are basically selling contracts 2 at&t against at&ts will.

ok. so using your logic, sprint sold your contract to verizion long ago because everytime you roam you are most likely on their tower. so, are you a sprint or verizon customer? its just semantics.
no that's different (at least a lil) because I am usually NOT roaming.
If this is done then you will essentially be roaming all the time, on at&t, against their will.

So what's the problem. You still pay the Sprint rate and you still have service. Who cares about this other than AT&T

I live in northern WV. The towers in this area are owned by Ntelos. My phone shows 3g signal just like it would anywhere else. I get service just like I would anywhere else. These roaming contracts are nothing new, and you probably use other carrier's towers every day, but you don't even know it.
Roaming contracts r not new no.
But as far as I have read doing it for a whole city of any size is.
Sent from my PG86100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
What is your reading comprehension level?
Sprint is, and I quote from the article, "force AT&T to sell it roaming." Basically whats going is that Sprint left that area and is using AT&T's network to provide service for their customers there. They can do this by two regulations in place that put AT&T in a corner, forcing them to sell them roaming.
No where in the article does it talk about contracts.

Nope your phone is not going to be obsolete and wimax will be upgraded to LTE. All they have to do is swap a baseband card on their end and an OTA update for the phone.

Answer, no.. clearwire, which is the 4g Wimax, is going to piggy back off of Sprint with the LTE, which basically means that clearwire is going LTE too so the phones should work on there bands for 4g

that is to upgrade the towers to broadcast lte, our wimax radio will not receive lte. someone prove me wrong...

Lol... People think that sprints deploying LTE when they getting money from litesquared in exchange for them using their network for testing and deploying _their_ LTE.

DoctorComrade and NewZJ are quite correct. If you read the press release about it made by Sprint (Found here: http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1989) Sprint entered an agreement with LightSquared to deploy LTE basestations on Sprint's towers. This is because it is significantly cheaper for LightSquared compared to deploying their own towers and network.
With this agreement, Sprint has the option to purchase bandwidth from LightSquared in the future, if they decide to.

From what I have read, no. As I understand it, the frequencies used for LTE and WiMax are part of the old analog TV spectrum. When the US switched to digital all those frequencies were auctioned off. Different carriers now own different parts of the spectrum and their phones need chips tuned to those particular frequencies. The lower end of the spectrum has the best building penetration and sold for the most money, that's the part that Verizon bought. As for whether they can make chips that switch depending on strongest signal, I don't know. As for whether cell providers will make deals allowing roaming on each others LTE networks, I don't know. As I said I could be wrong about this whole thing, this is just my understanding from the info I've read on the subject.
Wimax is 2000+ mhz, Verizon LTE is 700ish mhz
So no roaming, Wimax was said to be its upgradable to LTE via ota push
sent from the moon
wimax and lte can be any frequency, verizon happens to have approval for ~750, att ~700, sprint ~2400. fcc must approve the usage and sprint neither has the approval or spectrum to do it lower unless they give up iden (~800-850) and then get approval but nextel ptt is still popular

I'm pretty sure the frequency for LTE is dependent on the frequencies each carrier has purchased the rights to. I believe the reason WiMax is 2000+ and Verizon LTE is 700 is because that's the part of the spectrum that each company owns, not some inherent requirement for each technology.
Edit: NewZJ beat me to it.
Aside from at& idiots what other providers are reliable in northern California? I rely on my phone to run my business and travel consistently between redding, Fresno and the SF bay area... And everywhere between. Any recommendations or warnings would be appreciated.

Did you notice the article you got this reverse merger idea from stated it as OPINION?
The deal between T-Mobile and MetroPCS is actually considered a reverse-merger, in the sense that it is set up for MetroPCS is effectively “take over” the larger T-Mobile USA. This is being done so that Deutsche Telekom can receive 74% of the new T-Mobile and the “new company” can be listed on the stock exchange, as MetroPCS is already a publicly listed company. This maneuver offers Deutsche Telekom a way out of the US market, if they wished to do so by selling off their shares at a later date.

Folks with current TMO Phones won't be impacted, because MetroPCS is CDMA & TMO is of course GSM.
Unless Metro has a huge warehouse of paid-for LTE stuff... I don't see why TMO would even want them, as the networks/hardware are incompatible.
ETA: Apparently it's all over spectrum licensing... TMO gets Metro's spectrum in markets where there's no (or not enough) TMO presence... They plan to shut down the CDMA network and make all MetroPCS customers switch to GSM phones.
Geez, is not a debate, what I said wasn't untrue except I meant 74% not 76%. And yes, the reverse merger could be the writers opinion. Sorry for adding info. Now I know better than to try to contribute to a forum.

That's a smart move from tmobile because all networks including metro are moving faster to lte, infact metro has lte and tmobile doesn't but tmobile is soon getting it. All networks will soon have lte merging into a global network.

They actually sent me a letter and I'm, again, very unsure if how to proceed. You see, I have had every iteration of the "evo" moniker with sprint. I've always had stellar service inside my house and out into my neighborhood going back to my og EVO on wimax and even further to my mogul... The reason I feel like I got punched in the gut...? I haven't freaking moved! So, to review, 6 years in the same spot with relatively great service -get the 4g lte -2 months later im sent a warning letter explaining basically I better stop roaming or I will be dropped as a customer (of 11 years btw). Best part: (wait for it)...Live in gf has an S3 (sprint) And hasn't roamed and sits on LTE all day... It's times like these I feel like I have to be part of a f*/??g twighlight zone episode.

Same here. Service is manageable at home. But 7 miles away here at work I'm roaming. Sucks since I'm in a metro area but I dunno what to do anymore. One tech says one thing; other tech says another.

Well I guess I'm next. Me & almost everybody in my area. Sprint's service has been horrible these last couple weeks. I roam over half the time. Can't tell you how many dropped calls or unable to make calls or how many unable to send messages or the double, triple sometimes 6 or 7 duplicate messages I get when I finally do get service.

This happened to me for over 3 weeks and I had made several calls to CS but to no avail. I was just about to head into the sprint store and demand an s3 or no ETF when I canceled my contract. After my final call, just before I was headed to my car I noticed that I had 4g lte.
