Great Post AJ. I have a few question regarding the spectrum. You said Sprint will get 30 MHz contiguous swath of PCS spectrum with the purchase from USCC in Chicago. How about the other Midwest markets? Will it be contiguous too? How will this effect LTE deployments in these specific Midwest markets compared to around East Coast and West Coast markets? Will any future handsets need to have extra / different chipsets to accomodate the new spectrum to take advantage of this spectrum assuming that these spectrum will be available to sprint customers and will be limited to these Mid west markets?
(UPDATED) Sprint-USCC spectrum deal: Sprint gets 20 MHz broader in the "City of Broad Shoulders"
