"This consolidates the two," Jeffery said. "You get one phone number, one bill, and it's a more efficient use of the spectrum. Rather than having two chunks of spectrum for two different systems, we're using just one chunk of spectrum for both."

Rings hollow to me. Europe G* already has one number. Sounds like a straw man to divert attention from real value of ATC to G*, saleable terrestrial spectrum. I see no technological advantage to it at all. My (USA) phone already works in buildings, and I could have one number if G* and Verizon decided to do it (maybe it's a licensing problem, but it's not a technology problem). Even the cell / sat hand off, I've been informed. can be achieved seamlessly as is - if it were warranted.

I still think G* sees ATC as a carrot to attract investment from a terrestrial supplier who needs spectrum. BWDIK.
