Nextel not moving

That's crap. No other carrier uses the 2.1 Ghz band. Sprint PCS uses the 1.9 Ghz (1900 Mhz) band and Cingular in some markets uses the same band. Verizon wireless mostly operates in the 800 Mhz band but they do have some 1900 Mhz only areas also.

I don't know anybody that uses the 2100 Mhz band.

 

i agree

 

umm. so what band does vwz and sprint use for there t1 backhaul (microwave) when they have no fiber connected to a tower. Look it up and then u'll see the problem. Ya"ll are all baised thinking for a company instead of public's benefit.

 

You are right. It is 2100 MHz for T1.

 

Nextel will someday soon get 10 MHz somewhere 1.9 GHz or 2.1 or 1.7/2.1GHz?
I think everone can agree Verizon and other providers are not using 2.1 GHz
Wonder where USA Today got that??

 

Vzw, Sprint, Cingluar,AT&T, (others) are all using 2.1ghz.

 

what are VZW and others using at 2. GHz? For point to fix Microwave is up around 8 to 12 GHz so what are they using 2.1 GHz?

 

Ok, Copy and paste this link and then tell me what VZW uses this license for.

I could not get the link to work so it must be secure link!

 

Verizon is trying to get them to pony up and pay the big bucks. Like they did with Cingular/ATT merger, with Vodaphone

 

Okay, neither Verizon Communications nor Verizon Wireless had anything to do with Vodafone Group's bids on AT&T Wireless. Is this a similar strategy? Yes. Is it the same company? No.
