Just as the old radio spectrum licensing was, if you don't use the license for a given amount of spectrum within, say, 1 year, you must give up that spectrum back to the pool.
The fear that AT&T will hold onto its spectrum without putting it to use is very real, however potentially foolish.

ATT will probably only build in populated areas (areas with DSL/cable) for max returns, then claim poverty and scream its unfair to be required to offer service with that spectrum, and get a indefinite wavier.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17106231 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 18:26:45 EDT Re: No divestiture http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17106224 patcat88 :

I see that AT&T did not offer to divest their overlapping spectrum with Bellsouth as a concession. I'm hopeful that the Dems on the FCC will hold out for that one.

On a positive note, AT&T did concede that they will deploy broadband to 100% of their service area by the end of 2007 as a condition for approval. 85% through wireline and 15% through fixed wireless.
Satellite is "fixed" and "wireless". :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17106224 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 18:25:16 EDT Re: No divestiture http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17100568 KoolMoe : Just as the old radio spectrum licensing was, if you don't use the license for a given amount of spectrum within, say, 1 year, you must give up that spectrum back to the pool.

I live less than a mile away from the end of DSL and cable availability, and cable is never coming and DSL has been pushed back for 3 years. As long as we get around the same speeds and latency as DSL, then I'm all for it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17099648 Mon, 16 Oct 2006 19:35:12 EDT No divestiture http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17098912 Zoder : I see that AT&T did not offer to divest their overlapping spectrum with Bellsouth as a concession.
