Yes, Clearwire is using a frequency reuse pattern for its WiMAX network. Each site/sector should be on a different WiMAX carrier center frequency. So, my point is that some of those WiMAX carriers you may have connected to recently. Others may have been a long time ago. As such, we do not know exactly what spectrum Clearwire currently has allotted to WiMAX and what has been potentially cleared for TD-LTE. Regardless, here is the fruit of my labor. It was an arduous yet enlightening task, and I thank you for the data, Eric. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/files/file/29-clearwire-wimax-carrier-band-plan/ AJ

No, we probably will not be able to see if Clearwire has been doing any specific spectrum refarming for TD-LTE. The WiMAX center frequency data extracted from your Motorola Photon is not time/date stamped. So, we cannot tell when you connected to each particular WiMAX carrier. It could have been yesterday or last year. That said, I will finish my work and make available a download later today that I think you will find quite interesting... AJ

Actually, AT&T has the engineering screens removed from the official release ROMs for many of its handsets. AJ

Guys, as exciting a prospect as a "spectrum heist" might be, I think that nothing will come of T-Mobile's use of the AWS A block 20 MHz license that it had previously transferred to VZW and even terminated its leased usage of said spectrum. As long as T-Mobile had VZW's permission to use the license temporarily, then all is probably kosher. I still would have liked to see a short term, undefined area lease centered on T-Mobile's event -- was it at the Javits Center? I will keep an eye on the FCC ULS to see if any application cuts through the red tape retroactively. But you also have to recall that affiliates used Sprint's licensed spectrum for many years via an internal agreement with Sprint, not an FCC lease. AJ

I would say that is a given. One of my first pronouncements when the deal was announced was that AT&T was buying back in to the AWS-1 game. AJ

I did not exactly debunk the AWS LTE report. Back in December, I drove 700 miles roundtrip to Oklahoma City but did not find any AWS LTE downtown, at the airport, at Penn Square Mall, in Edmond, nor in Moore -- as an aside, I ran my RF sweeps in Moore at the I-35 interchange where the EF5 tornado would cross the highway a few months later. However, the AWS LTE reports continued to come in, though they were oddly localized to Mustang and Yukon, both just southwest of the metro. AJ

CMAs are based on MSAs from the 1980 or 1990 Census. http://wireless.fcc.gov/auctions/default.htm?job=maps AJ

CMA045 is Oklahoma City, which may have the highest AT&T market share of any top 100 metro in the country. AJ

I already did produce a stacked chart in my referenced tweet. But I was mobile at the time and could not post an image inline here in The Forums. Let me fix that now... AJ

Is this what you are seeking? Leap PCS does little for AT&T outside of the Pacific Northwest -- Seattle and Portland, which were Cingular sore spots prior to the AT&TWS merger nine years ago. AJ

CDMA1X 800 ≤ 153.9 kbps. AJ

For Leap PCS or AT&T-Leap PCS? AJ

AT&T-Leap AWS-1 synergies in the top 100 markets: Andrew J Shepherd (@WiWavelength) tweeted at 11:04 AM on Sat, Jul 13, 2013: Acquiring Leap is a way for AT&T to restore its lost AWS in the top 100 mkts, going from 24 back up to 68 mkts. http://t.co/acvpvhy4Ih (https://twitter.com/WiWavelength/status/356081629753655296) AJ

No, no, no. My fro in high school was far more Screech-like... AJ

+ + + = Robert is the keynote of the grooviness "panel" AJ

Eww! I hope someone else brought some baby wipes for "cleaning up [your] holes." AJ

I have probably linked that Brian Regan clip more than I have any other. Mention throwing a "switch," and my autonomic response is you get that video. AJ

Oh, those Samsung "enginerrs"... AJ

Come on, digiblur, you are supposed to have a little fun with him and tell him that his mucking around with his handset broke his local cell site. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/3563-is-this-an-issue/?p=126128 AJ

Okay, calling the internal antennas "elements" is technically correct. I can get used to that. AJ

I have no problem with the "panel" terminology. Each one contains numerous antennas, so you cannot really call the whole an "antenna." Otherwise, how do you refer to the antennas within the "antenna"? AJ

If you are going to roll your eyes at me, then I will have to send in Bruce McGill from "The Insider"... AJ

I got you a "new and future tower" right here... Cell sites, guys, sites, not "towers." AJ

Hell on earth, eh? Maybe a big nightmare, too? AJ

Does Charlie introduce himself as "Ben Dover"? AJ
