--it must be a nice hunk of wide-ranging spectrum. Good for T-Mobile.

Yeah. It's funny. After years of insisting on only using PCS, they are going to be a mishmash of frequencies.

If anything, T-Mobile's a survivor.

Which is good. We need Sprint and T-Mobile fighting the good fight. Too bad one of those companies didn't jump on Alltel when it was available. Still can't believe VZW got away with that.

I know why they started out as PCS sure. They were not ever Bells. That doesn't mean they didn't have opportunities to acquire smaller carriers LIKE Alltel which were 850. READ.

No way around it. Verizon gobbled up all of that 700MHz for a reason. They'll cover more areas and spend less to do so. Go to http://www.clear.com/coverage and type in zip code 10002. Look at how many f*cking towers it takes to cover just Manhattan and it still doesn't do that great of a job.
