  1. If there's so few tv stations then it sounds like none of them have to be cleared.

    People forget about frequencies especially in the vhf and uhf bands which 600, 700, 800 mhz after apart of. Every now and then when the atmosphere charges up especially in the e-layer, you get a bounce off radio waves called skip. And during the right tone, those radio waves will carry for miles. Not unheard of hearing or seeing tv and radio signals miles from where the were. It that frequency range, signals have a habit of traveling several states because of e-skip. Propagation always has play in it. There is no defeating physics.

  2. It was a rumor started by some stock manipulators that quickly got shot down by both BlackBerry and Samsung. BlackBerry stock shot up and then went back down after the news that it was a lie. So if someone was day trading, they made about 20% profit on the sell off the stock the next day before going back down.

  3. First, you have to include Sprint's PCS holdings that currently are being used for CDMA instead of LTE, which alone can be more than 35 MHz in some markets.

     

    Next, the benefit of Verizon running a 5x5 in PCS means that Verizon goes from having the capacity of a 10x10 network to having the capacity of a 15x15 network when in range of the PCS carrier. Which, in turn, will increase speeds on the 700 MHz network.

    But that would involve carrier aggregation which Verizon hasn't really starting to build out for. Only 2 current US carriers can do LTEAdvanced, AT&T and Sprint. T-Mobile and Verizon for right now are still on FDD.
