Government Clears Way For 1700 MHz Auctions
Here we go!
Here we go time for some fun to begin when the FCC auctions off in June of 2006. It should be interesting to see how much is spent and who gets what. We already know tmobile USA is in a desperate situation because they cannot deploy 3g data without 3g spectrum. DT, who owns Tmobile USA, has stressed that they have only $10 billion to spend on the new 3g spectrum, do you guys think because of that statement it will entice others to bid higher on purpose to impact the chances of Tmobile USA to acquire spectrum 1. at a more expensive price or 2. not at all? This should be interesting to find out what happens.

if the price gets too high i dont believe that DT will shell out the $$ for the spectrum... From an article i have previously read i thought that tmobile was already a touchy subject but was still going to be owned by DT instead of them selling it. i...

hardly---there is a limit to how much spectrum they can have in one market, i'm sure that the smaller carriers will have a great chance to get new spectrum as many of the bigger companies already have a large portion of it
1700MHz and 2100MHz
Why is the 2100MHz band called complimentary in this news brief? Will the current European 3G handsets work in the American 2100MHz band?
in the US (as well as europe), although bands are typically named with a single number, they always consist of a pair of bands. one set of freqs is for upstream traffic (phone > tower), the other for downstream (tower > phone). sometimes the second ba...

This Could Get Interesting
Knowing that T-Mobile has been looking forward to this for a long time, what are the chances of the major carriers (Cingular, Verizon, and Sprint) buying up this spectrum simply to keep companies like T-Mo, Alltel, and USCC from gaining any spectrum?
Just a thought as it would help bring more business to the big 3 because the rest would be unable to roll out much of a 3G network.
It would be an evil thing to do, but potentially a smart business decision.

Well, I think it would be the larger carriers' best interest to let companies such as Alltel and USCC to have spectrum like that, because then you could have roaming partners in rural areas instead of buying spectrum and keeping it unused. It's the l...

another war: US versus Germany
I am sure DT will pour out Trillion dollars to help the "golden egg bearing goose" win
there'll be a big war, not only auction

Huh?

DT better step up
They better cough up some monety and do some hard bidding.
TMobile USA better get a good chunk of 3g spectrum.

as I said in a prior post in here, DT is going to be using $10 billion for new spectrum. the problem is, they announced that publicly which I think can haunt them because that will entice others to bid higher so that they cant afford it, bid higher to...
