Now that makes sense, and they will use #2 to justify #1 because I

BST is doing this for two other reasons, also. They've been accused
of warehousing the spectrum to prevent competitive uses, and several
commentors in the AT&T/BST merger proceeding have asked the FCC to
order spectrum divestiture as a condition of merger approval. If they
don't roll it out (or at least announce it) now, they'll be more at
risk of losing it to someone else.
Second, they claim they're using it in areas where DSL can't reach
becuase of the +- 18K foot limitation.
Full disclosure: I represent a CLEC in the AT&T/BST merger proceeding
and am opposing unconditional approval.

completely rewritten to add the opportunity for mobility?
