Skip,

Thanks for the info. Another thing I was wondering is how can a phone detect which block to use. Suppose you have a service with sprint, and in my home market they have block B, but in other places they have other blocks.

Skip,

thinking about the bands some more, now I think it adds up. AB&C are 30 MHz each, or 15 MHz uplink and 15 MHz downlink, so it adds up to 90 MHz plus DE&F at 10 MHz each, or 5 each way, adds up to 120 MHz, which is the entire PCS range - divided into 2 blocks of 60 MHz for sending and receiving.

I wonder how Omnipoint ended up with A and D block in New York City market? Weren't there any rules to prevent it?

Joe
