FCC to AT&T: Show Us Your Numbers
Game On!
Why should ATT be rewarded with more spectrum when they have done no good with what they have? I think ATT should not play games with the group of people that have the authority to make or break the deals.
I'm seeing a good portion of offense from ATT, but little defense.

The only thing that hasn't been was the hearing with lawmakers, which apparently didn't phase the FCC a whole lot.
Whatever issues someone has with government up to now, should set those differences aside for the moment and understand that the FCC and DOJ are indeed our best advocates on this.
I welcome all hard questioning from the above sources regardless of what may be " routine".

One part consists of the ownership of the business aspects of subscribers, management, infrastructure and so forth of T-Mobile. Everything that has to do with a normal business acquistion.
The second part is the inheriting of the "Leased" spectrum of T-Mobile. This is the portion all eyes are on. Spectrum leased, is held under certain guidelines to benefit the entire society of population. It is publicly owned. This is very important, because ATT has not made an initiative to allocate or put into function, any spectrum they have acquired from recent past years. Their customers or any carrier piggybacking off their network has suffered. Dropped calls, lack of equivale...

"Zero progress" is just false.

This is very important, because ATT has not made an initiative to allocate or put into function, any spectrum they have acquired from recent past years.
So in short, ATT has made 0 progress in putting the best interest into the consumers interests.
Riding the coattails of the Apple products, allowed them to relax and bask in the sun on a beach while their spectral investments remained at home for them to admire. It was only the upcoming loss of exclusivity for the iPhone, that lit some sort of fire to upgrade. Coincidental? Not in my opinion.
The point here, is if they can't be trusted with what they already have, I'm not about to trust them with a large portion of mo...

Since we are talking about stockpiled spectrum, lets talk about Sprint, they have tons of it, and mostly unused. Lets divest them first of this unused spectrum, then we shall worry about AT&T? Oh, wait, thats different?

Nothing in my research has uncovered that Sprint has "stockpiled spectrum...mostly unused." If you are going to make this kind of indictment, you need to corroborate it with evidence. I called you out on this before, but you failed to respond.
So, back it up. Or shut it down.

Two things differentiate this issue.
First is the most obvious.
Sprint is NOT under FCC investigation for a major acquistion that would control a major portion of the marketshare or greatly effect consumer's interests and competitive edge.
Secondly: Of the Sprint/ Clearwire partnership, Clearwire represents most of the roughly 220Mhz total spectral assets; Not Sprint. Setting that aside, 75 markets of WiMAX are up and running. More are now to follow since the two have somewhat buried the hatchet then will switch to LTE. Most of the 2.5ghz allocated for WiMAX, will require more within an area to accomplish what...
