Sprint spent millions upgrading their network with their so-called "Network Vision" in regions nationwide. It was a massive project and I was involved with it in a supply chain side from 2011-2014. Sprint has licenses that cover my entire region in the Southeast, but they have only built coverage for less than half of it.
There are cities of 50,000+ people they don't cover natively. They have announced that they will be working with a local carriers in the Rural Preferred LTE Roaming Program, and will be using the LTE system of the local carrier (AT&T in a lot of markets). Since Sprint's Network Vision is supposedly "done" are they now prepared to give back all the spectrum they won't be using so that it can be re-sold and put to actual USE?
That's a fair question after looking at Sprint's coverage maps and seeing the absolutely pitiful amount of native coverage they have across the country and the current plan to not use the spectrum they own. What a royal waste. And those idiots wonder why they can't make money.
