it's sad...
but at&t will just sit on the spectrum they have and not expand their network. they may add 3G(slowly) but actually adding towers to areas they have spectrum in that they don't have coverage will not be a priority. they don't want the best coverage in their home country, they want the best 'global' coverage.

I just went to go visit my brother in Jacksonville, FL 2 weeks ago. My reception is good enough at his home, with occ a dropped call. He has AT&T (almost full 5 bars on his cell phone). My dad who is retired visits both of us a lot. My dad has verizon also, and occ has a dropped call at my brother's place since his home is on the fringe of two cell towers.
** Now get this **: My brother informed me that recently in his homeowner association monthly letter, he read that the homeowner association is in talks with verizon on letting them build a tower on unused land where the local power company will build a power substation soon...
