Your regulations seem to do a bad job regarding this. Our frequencies are auctioned but it is taken care of every bigger carrier cant get all spectrum of a band.
O2 and Eplus merge (owner is Spanish Telefonica). They have to give back some spectrum which is auctioned again. On the other side Wisps have much more/better usable spectrum in US.

It might be different in Europe (deployments, not physics). Here one carrier owns nearly all of 2.5. All share the rest of the bands. The US carriers have only talked about 3.5 from the small cells aspect. Maybe outdoor urban, but definitely high density venues. ----- Mike Hammett <http://www.ics-il.com/> Intelligent Computing Solutions <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> <http://www.midwest-ix.com/> Midwest Internet Exchange <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> <http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/> The Brothers WISP <https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg> _____ From: "Stefan Englhardt" <s...@genias.net <mailto:s...@genias.net> > To: af@afmug.com <mailto:af@afmug.com> Sent: Monday, October 3, 2016 7:43:50 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] where is 3,5GHz heading to ? When it comes to wall penetration 3.5 is not very good. Carriers here have 1800 and 2500 for smaller cells. Von: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] Im Auftrag von Mike Hammett Gesendet: Montag, 3.

As 3.5 GHz isn’t that good with indoor coverage I guess cellulars first fill up the spectrum below 3GHz and migrate from UMTS/GPRS/GSM to LTE to squeeze more bandwidth out of the lower frequencies. Indoor they might use wifi. Vodaphone and T-Mobile e.g. do wifi-calling with some handsets.

TDD-LTE claims good NLOS capabilities. PMP450 claims higher sector capacity with LOS (QAM256). LTE claims Standards compatibility while there are not much options to select between. Baicell seem to bring LTE costs down to the Level of PMP450 while both are way above the level of wifi-based 5GHz systems. Baicell is in a testing/beta stage phase. PMP450 may increase performance/NLOS capability with cnMedusa next year. Not seen any announcements where TDD-LTE implementations are heading to next year. We’re still running WiMAX for NLOS as there is no clear path where to go
