Someone on Slashdot found this report: http://www.lteuforum.org/uploads/3/5/6/8/3568127/lte-u_forum_lte-u_technical_report_v1.0.pdf The poster pointed out that the Tx power they used for the LTE-U cells was 46dBm (compared to Wi-Fi's 24dBm), or 40w vs 0.25w. I've only skimmed (and I'm certainly no expert), so I don't know if that's the power they plan to run it at, or if that's just what they were using for testing. The other part the concerns me is the throughput testing section. They show that LTE-U is no worse than two Wi-Fi APs on the same channel, but that's cold comfort for me. Right now we're used to having the spectrum all to ourselves (at least in the middle of campus where we aren't close to neighbors). LTE-U may not be worse than a noisy neighbor, but I was used to having NO neighbors...
