The Morning Briefing: Mobile spectrum

By | August 31, 2012, 12:38 AM PDT

“The Morning Briefing” is SmartPlanet’s daily roundup of must-reads from the web. This morning we’re reading about mobile spectrum.

1.) FCC to review how it measures competition. The Federal Communications Commission could overhaul the way it measures competition in the wireless industry.

2.) T-Mobile: We’ll prove shared 1755-1780 MHz band can be auctioned. T-Mobile USA expects that its tests of spectrum sharing in the 1755-1780 MHz band will open up the frequencies for pairing with the existing AWS-3 band for eventual auction long before all government entities are cleared from the spectrum, according to a company executive.

3.) Spectrum, mobility, security remain top issues for DOD networks. The importance of these networks, their size and their complexity present unprecedented challenges for managing, maintaining and defending them from attack.

4.) Mobile future infographic puts spectrum crunch in perspective.

5.) Will AT&T’s LTE network be more reliable than 3G for the iPhone?Should you ditch AT&T for Verizon’s LTE network when the new iPhone comes out?

We will sell or buy up all the spectrum you have but we still won't lower the price of service or open up new areas of service. we wont take money from the government to close the digital divide and we will tell you that we have to develop new tech to implement all the new bandwidth we bought up. The telecommunication companys think we are as dumb as they are and believe this crap. Every other country in the world is making strives in the field but here and why is that ? MONEY !
