It could work out for them with ESMR on the horizon. They gotta get rid of iDEN already. Isn't this the year or is it next year?
The band doesn't mean it will be slower. If anything, higher frequencies are better for higher speeds.

But bandwidth is key, and since LTE will be sharing bandwidth with CDMA, (like MetroPCS,) it could be limited. The situation will vary gre...
