I am a bit surprised to hear this. I was reading a Nokia white paper on CA yesterday, and it specifically said that one benefit of CA is the ability to use lower frequency bands on the uplink, where transmit power is an issue, while using higher frequency bands at greater distances for downlink. I understand that b41 wouldn't be exclusively downlink, for example, but sure Sprint would look to use CA to improve coverage reliability?
