WiWavelength

I am not sure that I have the patience to write a longer rebuttal to dedub, but I what I interpret he means is that non utilization is poor resource utilization. The problem with this perspective, as I stated earlier, is that wireless networks are rarely, if ever subject to non utilization. Rather, dedub's issue is really with under utilization. But I have no issue with under utilization because it means that congestion is far less likely, hence capacity is apt to be there for those who actually need it when they need it. To present an analogy, harping about under network utilization as poor resource utilization would be like stating that many highways are poor resource utilization because they are not constantly full of traffic. And by the way, that guy who is using 600 GB of WiMAX per month is transferring on average 1.9 Mbps every second of every day. That is abuse. AJ

No, not necessarily. For financial or political reasons, T-Mobile and/or AT&T block roaming on the other in many LACs. In plenty of locations -- both in market and out of market -- T-Mobile has no native coverage, AT&T does have native coverage, but roaming is not permitted. AJ

Also, as this is your first post, know that S4GRU does not host complaints. AJ

You are under several misperceptions. That is a now decommissioned Nextel iDEN site. It is not a Sprint site. Your Sprint CDMA1X/EV-DO site is somewhere else, possibly the water tower. AJ

It was useful for iDEN but little else. What more do you need to know? AJ

You intentionally present an exaggerated version of the situation that can be torn down to suit your argument. Educate yourself about a "straw man," then get back to me. AJ

Straw man fallacy. You know as well as I do that wireless networks currently face over utilization, not under utilization nor non utilization. Next! AJ

bandwithhog is missing the "d" from "bandwidth." That missing "d" must mean no "discretion" nor self "discipline." At the piggish rate he is consuming, the absent "d" ought soon to stand for no "data." AJ

The LTE coverage maps are not accurate. AJ

No, that is not a valid MCC-MNC. AJ

Reconfigured WCS 2300 MHz licenses are 5 MHz FDD. But the A and B blocks are adjacent, so they can be used together for 10 MHz FDD, much as AT&T uses the Lower 700 MHz B and C blocks for 10 MHz FDD. No carrier aggregation necessary. Oh, and band 2 LTE 1900 will come before band 30 LTE 2300 on AT&T. AJ

Right, that is the AWS-1 band, not bands. A single FDD band consists of both uplink and downlink. The frequency separation between the uplink and downlink is irrelevant. AJ

Ah, but did you see the asterisk? *The T-Mobile "data" network is superior only in select cities where W-CDMA and advanced backhaul are available, not in building, just outside, in a non wooded area. That is T-Mobile for you! AJ

No, T-Mobile does not. AJ

Yes, that is exactly the nature of carrier aggregation. AJ

Short answer, no. The deployment maps are still being updated regularly. You need to become a sponsor to view them. AJ

No, what you are describing is band reselection. Carrier aggregation would combine together both LTE 1900 and LTE 800 carriers. AJ

If it is currently enabled, the screenshot should reflect that. So, I am just being the voice of reason and tempering the irrational exuberance. Band 26/41 may be disabled for a period of time. AJ

And please do not quote huge pics. The large screenshots were warranted because of the important info they contain. But you do not need to include those huge pics over and over again in quoted responses. I had to go in and edit out the quoted pics for several of you. AJ

Before too many of you guys cream your pants, know that if the same screens appear on the Note 3 and G2, nothing from these screenshots indicates that the G2 will have band 26/41 active from the outset. Do not jump to conclusions or get too excited. You just set yourself up for potential disappointment. AJ

We do not generally traffic in release date rumors. That is best left to other sites. But we do publish articles on FCC OET authorizations. And if you read my article carefully, you would see that the Z30 passed through the FCC OET over a week ago. So, your question about it being "hung up" at the FCC has already been answered. AJ

Maybe Robert already is a natural gas "generator." AJ

Incoming handoff to the Airave is not possible. In its neighbor list, a local cell site cannot know the PN offset of every Airave in the area. AJ
