I have taken I-80 from Sacramento through Nebraska and also through Pennsylvania to Akron and I-10 from Jacksonville to LA. I-95 from Boston to Miami. Except for Verizon nobody covers the highways well. Well, Sprint for voice through Verizon . AT&T has major gaps in their coverage and so does T-Mobile.

Sprint has joined the CBRS band group that aims to deploy LTE on 150MHZ of spectrum in the 3.5GHz band. With 80 percent of the data consumed indoors and 95 percent of the radio access network (RAN) capex being spent outdoors, the need to address the indoors is pressing. I see it being deployed in large venues such as malls, stadiums, large box stores and in large office buildings. But it has to be deployed in a carrier neutral manner or it will not succeed. now getting all 4 carriers to agree to share will be problematic but it can be done. If we assume that it can be successfully deployed in a carrier neutral way it will lead to a depreciation of spectrum.

Just in case you did not notice Verizon has a massive net debt load, $105B. They can't afford to buy anybody. Merge yes and the talk is about them merging with Charter. They probably would have to ditch FIOS in places they currently compete with Charter or any other cable entity.

All of the CDMA carriers are trying like hell to move on from CDMA not because of the technology but because of Qualcomm. They have to double pay Qualcomm twice. First all the equipment has a build in license fee plus the carrier has to be pay a license fee for using the technology. I hope like hell that Intel & Mediatek become alternatives to Qualcomm because Qualcomm are just...bastards.

Actually Verizon has approached Charter and not Comcast. So there's that...

T-Mobile is looking to disrupt the pay TV industry. Which might mean that instead of Sprint they might might merge with Dish. Dish has spectrum and they have the content agreements. Sprint has spectrum but also a lot of debt. Hmmm...decisions, decisions: http://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/t-mobile-execs-eye-pay-tv-industry Just like cable cos wanting to move into wireless, T-Mobile wants to move into the pay TV industry. Which came first, the chicken or the egg ?

Can HPUE be used on bands 25 and 26?

Not unless the 3GPP changes the specs for those bands which it just did for band 41. -
Try it again today. $80 unlimited for a single line. $45/line for multiline plans for 4 lines. No line access fee. Plus taxes of course.
