Nokia Siemens and Nokia Make LTE Data Call via 800MHz
Can't the World Agree on 1 frequency that's not even out yet ??
Seriously, how many different/incompatible network bands do we need ? Can't they find 1 or 2 bands that are not being used and agree to standardize things globally.
First, they disagree on using metric or english systems. Then they choose to use different voltages. And if that wasn't enough, the powers that be thought that using different TV network was a good idea too ( PAL vs NTSC).
They need to make a law that would prohibit devices that are not cross compatible with other regions. TVs, Blu-rays, mobile phones, etc need to work everywhere. This would significantly help reduce waste. Don't like your 30" tv, plan on getting an 80' tv. Wonderful. The folks in New Delhi or Dar es Salam would love to have your stuff.

So you want the government to tell companies what spectrum they can use? Don't you know that's socialism and if that happens then we'll all end up in a bread line singing das vi danya while Nazis ride pterodactyls and eat children or something?

really ? Socialism is the distribution of wealth, not the goventmnet mandating a standardization. Stop watching Glenn Beck Please.

Actually, this really isn't a big issue at all. The real crux of the problem today is that there are different technologies involved- CDMA, GSM, the standard that Japan or one of those Asian countries use, etc.
If all the carriers are going to LTE, it won't be that big of a deal to just have different frequencies added to the radios- ie. how Nokia has quad band GSM phones now.
So there really is no problem with what frequency each country/region wants to use and it's actually just good enough that they are going to a unified standard the world over (assuming Wimax goes to LTE, which I assume it will soon enough.)

I know what socialism is. I also know what sarcasm is. Was I really that subtle? It's a testament to how crazy people have become when I can talk about my fear of nazis riding pterodactyls and you think I'm serious.

have you seen the news lately ? or read any post on CNN about Obama ? if you were being sarcastic then ok but people believe that, like i said.....Glenn Beck is a prime example.
