  1. AT&T might be able to pull it off. VZW likely would not -- far too much rural Cellular 850 MHz overlap. AJ
  2. You should have known better when you chose the S One Bar Ranch for your campsite. AJ
  3. In that case, would you be satisfied if the reverse auction were to produce so little FDD spectrum that VZW and AT&T again dominate the auction or even that 600 MHz does not happen? AJ
  4. The WCS 2300 MHz band plan has existed for more than 15 years and includes both FDD and TDD. But for band 30 LTE, only the FDD blocks will be utilized. AJ
  5. If memory serves me correctly, those are legacy Lucent infrastructure markets. So, it only makes sense to keep them in the Lucent fold. Think of the many problems that legacy Motorola infrastructure market have in transitioning to Samsung. Would you really want the potential for more such problems in many more markets? AJ
  6. The site is probably gone for good. Sprint is decommissioning mostly redundant Nextel iDEN only sites. Just a small number of iDEN only sites are being included in Sprint Network Vision. AJ
  7. If it wanted to work out a deal with Vivendi, maybe SoftBank should have instead targeted the former Seagram assets. Then, our smartphones could have had streaming ginger ale, tonic water, or Canadian whisky. AJ
  8. Somewhere, Craig Moffett is yelling, "SHORT! SHORT! SHORT!" AJ
  9. Following Clearwire, Sprint has chimed in with its support for a TDD 600 MHz band plan. http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7520931297 AJ
  10. We may have to rename this the "Haute Bourgeoisie Thread." AJ
  11. Network reselection improves over time, as does site density. Heck, even LTE network reselection is still wonky at times. And WiMAX network reselection on the highway in better markets was decent a few years ago. Unfortunately for you, Fresno did/does not qualify. AJ
  12. WiMAX and LTE are very similar, so both are "sort of like" Wi-Fi. The key difference is that IEEE standardizes WiMAX, while 3GPP standardizes LTE. The bigger issue was timing. If WiMAX had gained enough traction to stay at the forefront for another year or two, then we would have had 28-40 nm chipsets, which would have ameliorated many of the early WiMAX smartphone battery life problems. AJ
  13. Your direct link does not work. But since I created the map that prompted the GigaOM article, I probably have copyright permission to submit a link to another copy: http://i43.tinypic.com/muxv6w.png AJ
  14. Yep, that is not much bandwidth. But, at least, it could be an infinite time signal. AJ
  15. Good news. We now have a publisher lined up. And, like New York, Miami is one of the handful of markets that we decided worthy of a detailed dissection. AJ
  16. That should be intra band and inter band. Intra frequency would mean within the same single frequency. If you want to define a single frequency as one hertz, well, that would not be much bandwidth. AJ
