Did you mean to say "covering about 196 million people in all" instead?]]>Oct 9th 2007 11:53AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/09/atandt-snaps-up-aloha-partnerss-wireless-spectrum-stash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/09/atandt-snaps-up-aloha-partnerss-wireless-spectrum-stash/Oct 9th 2007 1:22PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/09/atandt-snaps-up-aloha-partnerss-wireless-spectrum-stash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/10/09/atandt-snaps-up-aloha-partnerss-wireless-spectrum-stash/
I found it strange that since AT&T took over Cingular, the 3G rollover stopped.

According to data found here: http://www.dailywireless.org/2007/10/09/att-buys-700mhz-from-aloha/ that means it'll be a 1/4 of the price per 1000 sq miles if they switch to 700mhz. 4x cheaper, 4x the coverage per site. They need this to catch up to Verizon and Sprint. All they need a 1/4 of the number of towers as them and they'll catch up. If their devices run on 700mhz, it won't suck up so much power increasing battery life and also increasing propagation (4x). AT&T must have had its eye on this for a while.
