Its a trend. I see it in Tulsa, I see it in OKC, I see it in muskogee. If it looks like a ghetto, smells like a ghetto and sounds like a ghetto...... well?


And I see a "trend" involving LTE and Nazarenes in the KC metro. But my example assertion is just as logically flawed as is your claim.

Regardless, Scott already covered this. Those "ghettos" have higher population density than do the upper/middle class suburbs. POPs covered. Simple as that.

Do I really need to pull the Required Notifications (i.e. buildout filings) from the FCC ULS in order for several of you to understand the rationale for these protection site locations?

1. Not even close to the same scope. I see it in every single non-Wimax area I have visited. Others point it out as well.

2. In tulsa they are in lower pop density areas. The density is greatest in midtown which is a working class (not ghetto but def not rich) they specifically avoided.

Lynyrd, you need to drop this diatribe. It is based on your perception, not grounded in reality. The supporting force of your argument carries little weight. To illustrate, I have pulled Clearwire's FCC filed substantial service map for your BTA. The few license protection sites in the Tulsa BTA (as well as in surrounding BTAs) are centrally located in order to maximize POPs covered within each 8.35 km radius service contour. See below:

Clearwire intentionally selecting ghettos is absurd. I still fail to see the motive for doing this? Less people using the network? That's stupid.

Besides, if you ask the average AT&T and Verizon customer, they would say that all of us Sprint customers are "Ghetto." And doesn't Boost Mobile have a reputation of being "ghetto?" If I were to guess, Sprint probably has a higher share of customers in "ghetto" areas than other carriers.

Although, I cannot believe I am trying to rationally discuss this.

I stand by what I said but I can tell this is going nowhere fast. So I'm done.
