John: There is a simple answer to consider when asking the question that you asked. Why use a 5MHz channel when a 1.25MHz channel will suffice. Maybe an analogy will help: You have two cars in your garage, one is a Ford Festiva, the other a Van. If you want to go to the corner store will you take the Van? No, you'll take the Festiva. On the other hand if you are travalling to Orlando for a vacation will you take the Festiva? No you'll take the Van. If you are going to transmit voice over a wireless link why take up 5MHz for one conversation when you can split the channel up into 3 1.25MHz channels and maximize your profit. When data comes along you unsplit your channels and use the 5MHz channel for the short time you have the data and then split them again.
