Re: Well Yea
T-Mobile is interested, but they face a problem. In many areas, they have a limited amount of spectrum, often not enough to launch a 3G network. That's why they bid heavily for the AWS spectrum, and they ended up getting lots of it. The problem is that it's located in the 1700/2100 MHz bands, which aren't being used for cell service anywhere, which means that there isn't much equipment available right now. That's starting to change, but it will take some time, and, from what I've seen, the CDMA gear seems to be getting to the market first, as Cricket and MetroPCS are already launching purely AWS markets. T-Mobile has some phones with the AWS bands available, but I don't think they've turned up the network yet. |
