kudos:5 |  And good for AT&T the spectrum is in 700 mhz band
One slice of nationwide spectrum — the former UHF channel 55(716-722 MHz).
Former UHF channel 56(722-728 MHz) over New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
That is 6 mhz worth of spectrum nationally in 700 mhz band, and an additional 6 mhz in the major cities listed above.
Should help AT&T's LTE rollout.

Is AT&T actually doing anything?
Seems like they got up to 15 LTE cities and quit...
Verizon's so far ahead of them, it's pathetic.... | |

Yes indeed. WLNY-TV channel 55 here on Long Island switched off their analog signal several years early in order for Qualcomm to get their service off the ground. That is the first time I had heard about MediaFLO.

| | The stipulation should read: Use it or lose it, you have 12 months to use it all up in the noted cities. There will be "NO" sitting / squatting on frequency spectrums, period. | |

I'd go one better.. they have to pay a NON-USE fee so it becomes UNPROFITABLE TO SQUAT ON SPECTRUM. These three options: sell it (permanently), give it back, or pay up.. and no slick loopholes with front companies to slosh around the bandwidth. Nevertheless, this would apply to ALL wireless providers. | |

Atlanta, GA | Nice This "job creator" just seems to have billions of dollars burning a hole in their pocket. Can they bring some jobs back from overseas with some of that spare cash? Or maybe give some of their part-time workers health insurance benefits? | |

EARTH | How? How are they going to use this unpaired spectrum to roll out LTE? They're saying it will help with the downlink, but what are they going to do for the uplink? | |

| | | Re: How? said by BiggA:How are they going to use this unpaired spectrum to roll out LTE? They're saying it will help with the downlink, but what are they going to do for the uplink?
Yes, the former Qualcomm Lower 700 MHz D/E block 6 MHz licenses are unpaired spectrum. AT&T will not be able to utilize that spectrum until LTE-Advanced supplemental downlink carrier aggregation technology becomes a commercial reality. Supplemental downlink will aggregate a 5 MHz downlink carrier in D/E block spectrum with a preexisting 5 MHz x 5 MHz (or 10 MHz x 10 MHz) uplink and downlink in traditional paired spectrum (e.g. Lower 700 MHz A/B/C block, Cellular A/B block, etc.).
