Comments on news posted 2012-05-21 08:36:16: As a bit of a regulatory carrot to get their spectrum and co-marketing deal with the cable industry approved, Verizon Wireless recently stated they'd be holding an auction to sell off the excess spectrum that won't fit into the company's LTE plans. ..

They should partner with Verizon for "Extended 4G LTE"

I think US Cellular should partner with Verizon for Extended 4G LTE when I go to southwest Iowa I get 1X Data with US Cellular and Chat Mobility.

Is This The Google Forced Openess Block?

Anyone know if this is the 700mhz band that Google drove the price up on that had open access requirements?

I believe it is. I remember those blocks in that. And in the end Google did nothing but run away.

Incompatible technology. That's why Verizon is selling it off. They should do EVDO roaming though...

Nope, Verizon's Upper C had the open access requirement, A and B didn't.

U.S. Cellular has been pushing for 700 MHz interoperability

....which AT&T and Verizon oppose.

Of course.

Verizon & USC

I am still surprised that VZW has not bought USC yet. It seems like the two would make a perfect match. If not VZW then Sprint should.

Actually, it's USCC (United States Cellular Corp.), USC is the University of Southern California. They can't just "buy" USCC, USCC is a owned by the Carlson Family, and until they okay a sell, USCC will stay put. USCC is the B Band Provider up here (Mendocino County, NW CA), Verizon is the A Band Provider, and the other providers are AT&T (PCS, formerly AT&T Affiliate Edge Wireless), T-Mobile and Metro PCS.
