Source: Dailytech While they spent a fortune to buy the colossal bandwidth of 700 MHz, Verizon and AT & T have announced that they do not want to use it immediately.
It will be in operation only at the beginning of the next decade, even though it would b e extremely useful, at least to customers, thanks to its great potential in terms of speed and excellent penetration in buildings.
But obviously, operators have no commercial interest in investing in it, preferring to extract as much profit from technologies already deployed. It must be said that they have acquired these frequencies in order to block other competitors such as Google, deemed too dangerous.
Meanwhile, in France, a rumour suggests that the proposed sale of a fourth 3G licence has been abandoned. If this is confirmed, it will put an end to the hopes of seeing a real competition between operators, the 3 already in place having proven their wonderful agreement not to engage in a price war (and who have been heavily sentenced for such acts).
