kudos:2 | Tens-of-Billions of What? said by Karl Bode:AT&T and Verizon currently squat on tens-of-billions in unused spectrum Karl, can you quantify how much unused spectrum VZ and T are "squatting" on in terms of bandwidth instead of the regurgitated and pointless dollar guesstimate often reported elsewhere? |

If you have a counter argument with verifiable facts I would love to read it...

kudos:2 | What am I to counter? I've asked this question before and so far have not received an answer. Am I off-base to want to know how much unused spectrum is currently under control of VZ and T given our current understanding of the laws of physics? Money is irrelevant in regards to this topic. Quoting billions of dollars only serves to show what companies valued the spectrum at some point in history and is only relevant if the spectrum were to go up for sale again. |

kudos:2 | If you find me one detailing used and unused spectrum, I'd be ecstatic. That's a good start though, thanks. |

Well Verizon and AT&T don't use the 2100 MHz band they hold. So thats some.
Heres maps of The 700Mhz they hold and in what markets they have more spectrum. AT&T's is probably larger from the Qualcomm spectrum acquisition recently

Yes I know, that's where a lot of the "billions of dollars" quotes come from. It still doesn't answer my questions regarding how much spectrum is used, planned to be used, or simply "squatted" on. Besides, the article is a little dated given AT&T's announcement that it will begin deploying LTE this year. |

Absolutely not and is also what I am curious about.
