Re: Then why are we still in this situation?

said by en102:

They bought separate spectrum for 3G, and didn't attempt to recycle spectrum as AT&T has been doing.
That might have something to do with the regulatory agencies in most of the rest of the world allocating a new band in a reasonable timeframe. The AWS auction didn't happen until long after the US carriers had begun their 3G rollouts. And there still are very few AWS-capable devices.

This is one thing you can't blame at&t for. You can blame them for their pricing, and even their network performance, but you can't blame them for the FCC's decisions. (To some degree you can't even blame the FCC..half of our problem in this country with spectrum harmonization is the military)

It's wierdo, not weirdo. Yes, I know that's not the 'proper' spelling of the similar english language word.
