well I want to talk about competition obviously sprint I showed a little bit of life with the new CEO Marcelo Claure a what do you think about Marcel have you met him for one and I have not what do you think about the task ahead from this guy's hands full and you know I think there's you know let's understand the guys been here about a month right and you know you got to give them points for showing activity and so you know I think one of the most important things we don't need sprint to fail for us to succeed that that's not what this is about I don't think they think about you know us that same way either the AT&T and Verizon control 85% of the profitability of this industry and over 75% of the sub one gigahertz you know spectrum 70% of the market share so you know just by doing the things that are right for customers there's plenty of little to grow so you got his hands you think you both spread and t-mobile can actually grow in this market of course and it but you know remember we are in a totally do with had five quarters of over a million net ads of customers and you know we're at a peak of our growth they're trying to get to the point where they stop bleeding so let's not move from they made a few announcements to they're grown they got their hands full and frankly they still have a long way to go before their network is competitive so the harder part for Sprint would be that they unfortunately had to get into price competition right before their network was ready and I think that's his words and your networks not up to party up to compete on price but if you if you could you would do that later you mentioned before I mean when you made the comment about surpassing Sprint this very probably to fork in it they're you know we're they're done they're done yeah they're done we're not there yet but come on mr. you say Sprint's done it's funny you say that given you know up until a month ago you guys were seemingly headed towards a merger I know never publicly confirm but the fact that it actually collapsed publicly the way it did was come surprising and rare but for you I mean how do you approach tip do you approach t-mobile differently what this deal wasn't we what was most important to me in this entire pairs the same thing is that I want to keep the momentum of my company continuing my employees focused the brand being defined as the thing that we're about and right through all those rumors and right past we continue and I think more difficult for them is it seemed as if their answer to how to fix their company was t-mobile so they had to announce that the answer that they were banking on wasn't happening Sprint Verizon have all announced special plans for Sprint has a specific plan a $50 plan for the iPhone and Verizon's offering a free one I guess if you trade in an old iPhone what do you think of these programs are you also thinking about a promotion of your own yeah listen we're not we're not announcing our iPhone plans yet and that's something you do in partnership with Apple and I'm actually surprised some of these to come in or or were they you know were they authorized and where are they and trickery is my first reaction okay no trickery come on the I was a little surprised at the Sprint plan did you said $50 plan but you missed the iPhone for life 20 baller which is actually a rental but it's what really is is it's a financing plan with no residual value and we talked about sprint a lot of AT&T and Verizon I mean these are two really your two big targets right there's 250 billion dollars with the revenue between AT&T and Verizon that's more than the GDP s of Portugal or Denmark they they have a built-in inherent reason to not change you know and Verizon more than anybody why would they change they're having a party there's so much I'm actually they're doing very well yeah but we are doing just fine beautifully moving and if they're happy I'm happy if the porting ratio state two to one even the whole industry it's only a matter of time do you think by that with that same situation that that spring can actually mount its own back and getting shader really got a sprint thing going over they give me no old no pay older on the side you afraid the guy cuz he's so big Oh what the hell is going on come on give them some time right you know their die they're bleeding customers they've got to go through the layoffs right their brand is miserable look at the store across the streets and ugly yellow there's no people there they got no sorry about that guys stuff hanging on the window and and the guy came in and made some aggressive price you know yes changes you know ten lines 4x by the way the price for ten lines is the same as the price for two lines I mean come on and and you know it family got killed the poor hamster has no jobs the groups of family members are stranded so people's prices are going to go down all of their pricing plans are only for new customers which means their loyal customers are pissed off so you got some work to do but let's not declare victory it's a long game
