Fiber to the home is kind of useless if you can do 280Mbps over the air. |

San Ramon, CA | Yep, I guess thats why AT&T isn't putting all of their eggs into the fibre.
All of these crybabies on here don't seem to understand wireless is the future. |

Well, Sprint supposedly isn't going the greatest at the moment...
Perhaps they could slowly start cutting off all their voice customers, and convert all their towers to data only, increase the backhaul to each tower significantly, then institute Revision B nationwide to become the Nation's first and largest nationwide wireless broadband provider. Man, if they did that, it'd make the rural peeps drool all over the place... |

I think the cited speeds are per cell tower, and it gets divided up by the number of active users. FTTH will still be plenty useful... |

| Very true...the article doesn't state how much spectrum capacity is required for 280Mbps. Current CDMA2000 technologies require 1.25MHz channels (1up/1down).
quote:
UMB would use MIMO and SDMA in order to provide greater capacity and coverage, CDG said
According to CDG this could mean using 20MHz of spectrum (paired) for 280Mbps.
»www.cdg.org/technology/3g_umb.asp
# Flexible spectrum allocations
* Scalable, non-contiguous and dynamic channel (bandwidth) allocations
* Support for bandwidth allocations up to 20 MHz in 1.25 MHz blocks |
