AT&T Fires Up 850MHz 3G In San Francisco

850 MHz provides a much stronger and wider signal strength as apposed to 1900 MHz. The "bigger" the frequency, the smaller the area covered. With this new frequency, users in San Fran will definitely be getting much better signal strength and call quality than what they had before at 1900 MHz.
I believe that AT&T will keep the 3G at both 850 and 1900 so as to have a balanced network in place. That way most of the metro area is pretty much universally covered.
At least, this is ideally what should happen.
