Wow, thank you for the detailed reply. I guess from the outside looking in, it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't use the existing 0325 and an additonal 0725 carrier for EVDO as well.

You mentioned that, in Chicago, a tower would have no more than three carrriers, but I believe you mentioned only two channel possibilities. EV-DO: 0325, 0725. Can you please explain what the channel assignments would be for three EVDO carriers on a tower? Thank you in advance.

I work a stones throw from woodfield mall in Schaumburg and my 3g speeds are always horrible (network congestion, sub 300 kb). I've been toggling airplane mode today, however I always get channel 325 for EVDO. Could it be that such a congested tower would only have one carrier? 1x is on 350. Is anyone familar with what channels Sprint is able to deploy in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago (Schamburg, Elgin)? Thanks.

Robert are there any updates on the Chicago market reorg for the NV deployment?
