    H block is kind of weird it's not PCS, power characteristics are those of AWS if I remember. Trading for PCS with either AT&T or Verizon or even T-Mobile might be preferable.

    Did nobody ask them about the sale of some 2.5GHz (EBS)? Or horse trading it for PCS?
  3. bigsnake49
    It means that they might use 2.5MHz strictly for download link, thereby increasing its efficiency and use PCS for uplink.

    Charlie wanted the 2.5 GHz spectrum. Maybe Sprint can still trade the leasing rights for the 2000-2020MHz spectrum+ PCS Block G+hosting charlie's spectrum.
  5. bigsnake49
    Just remember that Sprint does not own EBS spectrum, they're just leasing it. If they sell they will sell the leasing rights.

    Wireless will be part of Title II.

    He, he...inside joke ! What was that they call Bithlo, the nightmare before Christmas ?

    I guess the rest of the blocks are in the Orlando EA. An entity back by Terrestar won quite a few (18) of the B1 block (unpaired) and entities associated with Dish won pretty much the rest as pretty much everybody predicted.

    Thanks AJ! Wait a minute, only block G was won in the Melbourne-Titusville area? WTH? Does the spectrum go back?

    Still a pain...

    Good luck with that, there is no space or comma before the license area, so you have to write code. You also have to skip the headers. I wish they just had it as a CSV format instead of a report format.

    Attachment A of the document at http://www.fcc.gov/document/auction-97-aws-3-winning-bidders. I want to import it to a database or a spreadsheet.
  13. bigsnake49
    Does anybody have Attachment A as a CSV file?

    Again, what's Dish's end game? Rider on somebody's network? Build their own? Merge with T-Mobile? I tend to go with option# 3. For me that will create a powerhouse as far as midband spectrum is concerned. Although a merger with Sprint is not to be discounted.

    I think Dish won the unpaired AWS-3 spectrum. They drove up the price of the paired spectrum to drive up the value of their own spectrum. In turn I think Verizon and AT&T drove up the price of the unpaired spectrum. What's fair for the goose is...The big winners but also big losers will be AT&T and Verizon. The big, big winner will be Dish & Charlie Ergen who drove up the value of his company. We will find out pretty soon I guess .

    I have long admired Verizon. They do care about their network. They are also the provider most likely to stay up after a power failure. They are expensive, but if you want reliability and consistency, they are the provider to get.
  17. bigsnake49
    AT&T has 850MHz in the south of the country only.
  18. bigsnake49
    Not impossible but improbable
  19. bigsnake49
    Mexico does not use 800MHz for public safety so they did not have to reband.
  20. bigsnake49
    Motorola was a total panic buy on their part. They lost their shirt on that one. Just as much as Apple/Microsoft's of the Rockstar patents.
  21. bigsnake49
    it does not matter. If Nextel Mexico/AT&T Mexico use the same spectrum band they have to coordinate with each other how to best minimize interference.
  22. bigsnake49
    Yes it will be band 26. All spectrum along the border is subject to interference. But with cooperation some of the interference can be mitigated by tower placement, down tilt, power adjustments.
  23. bigsnake49
    Carlos Slim still has to divest assets and subscribers that will get Telcel less than 50% of the market. I think it will beneficial for both companies to speed up the IBEZ rebanding/sharing so that bot can implement LTE in the IBEZ areas.
  24. bigsnake49
    Yeah the backhaul but not the backbone.
  25. bigsnake49
    Also remember that Google is probably just using the wireless network and not the backbone of either T-mobile or Sprint. They will offload it off the wireless networks at the nearest point to their own backbone.
