Lawsuit Filed To Delay Spectrum Auction
The wait?
Long term exposure research? That's going to take...a long time.
So if this lawsuit gets serious and the research is actually required before the FCC can auction off the spectrum, are we going to be waiting longer for 3G services from the little guys?
Right now, it isn't looking too good for T-Mobile.

if t-mobile can get something in that 1600-1700 band width then i guess that would be great. if thats considered to be "low level" then that suck for them.
they should also research that 700mhz qualcomm is holding back for that media service.

i don't believe T-mobile isn't too little..mabey compared to Cingular.. but i mean it is backed by the Huge German based T-mobile which has lots of money$ ... but yes i would imagine this lawsuit filing has already put a pretty big delay on the 3g wait for the littler companies
...
With reguard to this effect on "the little companies", heck, theirs always MVNOs, right?
Personally I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens with Helio! ! !
But even though a company may not have 3G licenses, they can still lease off of the bigger companies, right?

At this point, money doesn't matter for T-Mobile. The availability of spectrum to deploy 3G services in does.
At this point in time, T-Mobile does not have enough spectrum in any market to deploy 3G services on top of their existing GSM network.
So, even if you have all they money in the world, its difficult to attain 3G spectrum that isn't available. Hence T-Mobile's continuing troubles--and no 3G network.
And by saying "smaller companies" I was referring to the amount of spectrum holdings each one has. Comparing T-Mobile to Cingular in that manner is just ridiculous. Cingular is at the spectrum cap in nearly every market, and T-Mobile isn't anywhere near that.

To date the lack of 3G has not hurt T-Mobile. Their customer base seems to only want cheap voice plans and cheap text messaging. They can continue to deliver that up to a point.
At some point network capacity will become an issue. Their GSM network has a fixed capacity and if they reach that capacity then calls will begin to get blocked. They really need the capacity that a 3G network can give them.
Even their competition with only 30MHZ in a market can deploy CDMA 3G with that spectrum. They may be the only tier 1 carrier to not deploy 3G when some roll out 4G. A very bad competitive position.

I say the technology's moving too fast anyway. We're not even getting a chance to make use of current tech. Besides, if this stuff gives us brain cancer in 15 years, wouldn't you want to know?
...
Nobody is even entirely sure that the technology we're using today is safe. A new study comes out every other day contradicting the research that came before it.
And anyway, in this day and age anything and everything seems to cause cancer. I'm not one to live my life worrying about it.
