  • Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the 700-MHz Auction but Were Afraid to Ask: Expert Op-Ed
  • America’s mobile phone oligopoly
  • 700-MHz signals propagate better, spreading farther and penetrating buildings more easily than higher frequencies
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • having lower so-called spectral efficiency
  • require smaller cells and lower power to reduce interference and increase the total data throughput not per cell but per square mile
  • Which makes one wonder: Why is a data-centric company like Google even interested?
  • simply bidding to make sure some of its open access requirements are imposed on an eventual winner, which will only happen under FCC rules if the bidding for that C Block goes to at least $4.6 billion
  • trade that block to Sprint/Nextel for some of that company’s 2.5-GHz WiMAX licenses
  • The thought of unused or underused spectrum got the juices flowing at companies including Intel, Microsoft and Philips, who banded together to propose that they be allowed to offer unlicensed data service in so-called “white space” within and between existing broadcast frequencies—piggybacking, as it were, on the bandwidth allocated to TV broadcasters and wireless providers.
