Thanks for the thoughtful post. Like you, I'm skeptical about these claims about inadequate amounts of spectrum. If true, in the end, I don't believe the U.S. government/Congress would allow this barrier to economic growth to stand.

Good analysis. You are right about the voice capacity. I remember there was a report before that Sprint is using only about 20% of the capacity it can handle right now.

However when we are entering 3g, you also need to add in the data traffic and their effect upon the overall capacity. So if wireless internet indeed taking off then we will have to see how much of capacity current spectrum can handle.
