Is the way of the future "larger contiguous blocks" of spectrum, or software defined radio capable of agile frequency selection from a multitude of blocks in what are commonly regarded now as disparate bands of spectrum?

re: Loea, somehow, spectum up at 70GHz doesn't seem too relevant for these types of nationwide deployments. I guess we'll see.

What do you mean by "China, Japan and Korea proposed to use 3.1-4.9 GHz" ? The countries (as represented by the regulators) are proposing this? Isn't that UWB spectrum (or in any case, not unencumbered spectrum)?

PS ever give any thought to how much a 2x100MHz spectrum block would go for at auction? You could probably deploy FTTH to the whole US for that amount.

Hi Peter -

"China, Japan and Korea proposed to use 3.1-4.9 GHz for IMT-Advanced - plenty of incumbents, plenty of spectrum."

Penetration at those frequencies will be a joy to end-users ;)
