"M2Z Networks has pointed out that T-Mobile is currently providing broadband services in the Czech Republic using similar spectrum and similar technical rules to those that the FCC plans to adopt for the free broadband service. According to the report from the Czech Telecommunications Office, T-Mobile's broadband service is operating with well-established standard power limits and without having to use spectrum guard bands." As the magazine said in the July 29, 2008 issue, T-mobile is not interfering using similar (that is a slippery word) technology it claims does interferes.
Of course, it is ironic that T-Mobile appears to be cherry picking information "prove" their point against the FCC just like the FCC did to "prove" that BPL did not interfere with the folks who use the RF spectrum and was cost effective for the power-line companies.
All to keep us, the consumer, as nice little slaves to the corporate masters.

1 edit | A very useful article on the subject.
More details on T-Mobile's Czech operations, from T-Mobile Czech Republic's press arm: (»en.t-press.cz/tiskove_zpravy/2005/508/)
"T-Mobile aims to maximize the value of its acquired UMTS license by using UMTS TDD technology operating in its "unpaired" 1.9 GHz UMTS spectrum. It will be world's fastest commercial UMTS network, capable of delivering peak sector speeds of up to 4.5 Mbps (average user experience runs to 512 Kbps)."
And T-Mobile's response to this argument: (»www.fiercebroadbandwireless.com/···08-08-04)
"T-Mobile has countered M2Z, saying that the company's argument was simplistic. According to a statement in Wireless Week, T-Mobile said: "There are important distinctions between the Czech Republic situation and the AWS-3 band in the United States that M2Z has conveniently chosen to ignore." The carrier said its Czech operations are subject to stringent technical mandates and standards that limit out-of-band emissions. It also said its Czech operations are governed by a 5 megahertz guard band between TDD and FDD operations. M2Z, on the other hand, is proposing no guard band for the AWS-3 spectrum." |
