said by FFH5:said by bartolo5:In turn, criticizing a carrier for not using their spectrum depends on what frequencies they are holding it on. No carrier in their sane mind should be deploying nationwide networks with pervasive coverage in anything like AWS or 2.6Ghz. I wonder how many cell sites you would need to have good coverage but I doubt is economically feasible.
Then why did they spend billions buying it if they aren't going to use it?
Please, note I said "...deploying
nationwide networks with pervasive coverage in anything like AWS or 2.6Ghz"
Meaning that while they may have a lot of spectrum they will never use in many areas, in some densely populated metros the use of those bands may still be viable if enough expenditures are put into the network deployment.
But frankly, I just think is all part of spectrum speculation and holding off on assets that investors may think they are valuable when they are not.
