    Why? Trip is referring to the Lower 700 MHz band, and it would be a relatively easy reconfiguration. The current 6 MHz FDD/TDD blocks simply followed the UHF TV channelization. But that is pointless in an LTE world that has 5 MHz FDD/TDD as its closest match, leaving 1 MHz fallow per block. If each Lower 700 MHz A/B/C block were sensibly reduced to 5 MHz FDD/TDD and shifted, then a new AA, BB, or CC block could be added. It would be 3 MHz FDD, which would match a current LTE configuration, and it would remain in band 12. I would advocate the BB block in between the A and B blocks. AJ

    I am pleased to hear that at least one person at the FCC is thinking along the same lines. Neal (Conan Kudo) and I have been bandying about and working on the idea of a Cellular 850 MHz band reconfiguration proposal for over a year. Any such reconfiguration would eliminate the pesky A low, A high, and B high segments that the FCC used to expand the band many years ago. Those extensions made sense in the AMPS era, but they lost much of their utility even by the cdmaOne/CDMA2000 era. AJ

    Are you certain that you are not forgetting Alamosa PCS nee Washington Oregon Wireless? AJ

    uecker87 in Wisconsin beat you to EARFCN 39858 a few posts above. Regardless, the top post and spreadsheet have now been updated. AJ

    Thanks for the report, but South Bend is in the Chicago market. So, the same second band 25 carrier does not count as anything new, per se. AJ

    "Y'all" should expect to pay eleventy billion dollars. AJ

    Just grab some tongs, hold all of your cards above your lit Bunsen burner, and you will incur no further debt. AJ

    And, somewhat ironically, which domestic operator seems to come out the winner in the Nexus 6 LTE RF sweepstakes? AJ

    Does that make you Amy Grant? AJ

    No, you guys are all wrong. You will find The Edge, Bono, some Adam Clayton, and just a little bit of Larry Mullen. AJ

    If you wait, you may get stuck weeks behind the backlog of initial orders. So, some of us will probably place our orders immediately upon opening this week. And as a safety net, Google Play has a return policy. AJ

    "Should" is based on my reasoned assessments, which I take over those of governing bodies -- especially when they are influenced by the likes of AT&T nee Cingular operator politics and 3GPP Eurotrash. Sprint PCS Vision was launched as "3G" -- with ceremony befitting that generational leap. The same was not true of EDGE. Enough said. I am done with this argument. AJ

    Guys, I am growing weary of this argument. I have the right answer; if you have a problem with that, too bad. Many of you seem too young or too old to remember 2002. Or you simply were not Sprint subs at that time. Yes? No? If not, then you lack the appropriate perspective. CDMA2000 is a "3G" standard. That includes 1xRTT, 3xRTT, EV-DO, EV-DV, etc. EDGE should not be a "3G" standard. It is a modulation bolt on to GSM, which is decidedly a "2G" standard. Sprint PCS Vision in 2002 was a "3G" launch -- color screens, camera phones, etc. It was definitely a generational upgrade from the "2G" "all digital" cdmaOne paradigm that preceded it. So, you can argue that CDMA1X does not seem like "3G" in 2014. But to say so in general, you are just playing revisionist historian. AJ

    Both Seattle and Portland were Lucent legacy infrastructure markets, but was there ever any affiliate market territory along I-5 between the two? If so, that could have been Motorola or Nortel legacy infrastructure, hence the lack of interconnection. Even if there was no affiliate infrastructure issue, I seem to recall a Lucent limitation from 10-15 ago. If I remember it correctly, Lucent, unlike Nortel, could not hand off between two MSCs in different markets. Regardless, both Seattle and Portland are now Samsung infrastructure markets, and the sites in the affected SID boundary area have all received at least their 3G upgrades. AJ

    Uh, Samsung, the word is spelled "enginerring." That screen is almost certainly in error. AJ

    Target must be a glutton for accuracy. When will the 47 GB venison model be available? AJ
  21. WiWavelength
    Yes, someone knows. AJ
  22. WiWavelength
    How is it a "problem"? Not for the FCC. AJ
  23. WiWavelength
    I am not sure what you mean. The FCC does not conduct the testing. Certified labs submit the authorizations. AJ
  24. WiWavelength
    Nope, there are modest RF output discrepancies between band 2 and band 25, band 12 and band 17, and band 5 and band 26. AJ
  25. WiWavelength
    Prima facie... Band 2: good performance (~25 dBm) Band 4: excellent performance (~26 dBm) Band 5: good performance (~19 dBm) Band 12: excellent performance (~21 dBm) Band 13: excellent performance (~22 dBm) Band 17: good performance (~20 dBm) Band 25: good performance (~25 dBm) Band 26: good performance (~19 dBm) Band 41: good performance (~25 dBm) AJ
