Chicago, IL | So how does this work?
Can AT&T Carry 3G-4G, Wifi, or WiMax over the 700Mhz line? If they can than I'm one happy guy. |

12 MHz isn't exactly 'huge'. Most standard PCS license are 10MHz. In most markets (any that have 3G anyways), AT&T typically has at least 45MHz of cellular/PCS spectrum
Here's the license map

My guess is that they will offer Wi-Max on the IPhones and as an alternate to their traditional Internet services. They won't be able to switch their existing cell customers to Wi-Max until other carriers offer the same for roaming purposes. |

$2.5B is a lot to pay for 14Mhz.
Sprint has 100mhz in the 2.5Ghz spectrum and now doesn't know what to do with it. |

If your network is nationwide, when do you "roam"? |

Clinton, IN | AT&T doesn't have coverage in all areas that I work in. Sometimes I roam on Alltell, etc. AT&T doesn't have a true nationwide network. |
