this information is incorrect

T-Mobile's "wideband" has nothing to do with their 700Mhz deployment or with dual band or paired spectrum. It refers to their ability to deploy 20Mhz-wide chunks of spectrum for LTE in the PCS or AWS bands in those areas where tmo owns sufficient amounts of contiguous spectrum to make that happen.

As for NYC, while tmo owns a 700Mhz license in that market, that spectrum is unusable due to the presence of TV channel 51. It will probably be 2017 or later before that channel is moved thus allowing tmo to utilize their 700Mhz spectrum in that market (i.e after the incentive auction).

That's what I thought. And I also believe that Verizon's XLTE refers to their AWS spectrum, and I guessed it meant Extra LTE.
