Making mistakes, it’s important to make mistakes…You learn through your mistakes, and in a domain like this you can make lots of mistakes, because it’s treacherous, it’s a noisy kind of problem…every bone in your body should be telling you to figure out what’s wrong with something that seems to work because most things should not work…so there’s really no substitute for experience.'”

Excerpt from MarketScale -- “'Now in that market, Sprint and TMobile occupy a much bigger place than they do in the standard retail market because they’ve been more aggressive, they’ve been looking out to see opportunities for resale, and one of the reasons why they’ve been more aggressive here is, in a sense, they have less to lose in the standard retail market because they are smaller players in the standard retail market.'"

Those places have also seen slower job growth in their retail sectors."
