Dish to sell Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile phones through Blockbuster stores

Sounds like AWS 4 rebanding is really what would be necessary. That would take a lot of time.

 

This is also the reason for the odd, inverted duplex of the Upper 700 MHz band. In nearly all mobile spectrum bands, the uplink is lower in frequency than the downlink. The inverse is true of the Upper 700 MHz band (e.g. VZW's Upper 700 MHz C block licenses). The reason for the inversion is that it places the Lower 700 MHz band downlink and the Upper 700 MHz band downlink directly adjacent to one another, and that mitigates interference concerns.

AJ, what do you think is the most appropriate way to settle this debacle to avoid 'H' block interference? Is it best for Dish to adhere to the FCC's limits or is AWS 4 rebanding the way to go (reverse the uplink and downlink freqs just like the 700 MHz C block)?
