While we know that the 600 MHZ auction won't be until 2015, it just feels right to say that the two of the biggest carriers in the US, AT&T and Verizon are both spectrum hogs. Don't believe me? AT&T has AWS spectrum to reach all of it's customers. Verizon had both block C and block A before selling block A to T-Mobile. It's not like T-Mobile can use this spectrum where they bought it, they can't because there is still a lot of T.V signals still being broadcasted there that will interfere with this spectrum.
Right now, it seems as if AT&T and Verizon need to use more of their AWS and WRS (AT&T) spectrum before attempting to purchase any new spectrum. AT&T and Verizon have waited a long time to purchase spectrum to reach all of it's customers, but that is besides the point, while markets such as Washington DC still have capacity issues and it's been years since we've seen noticeable improvements from either carrier. These capacity issues have left me personally to switch to T-Mobile, but I'm not saying that anyone is perfect. Even with T-Mobile, I get very fast LTE with the trade off of having high speed data inside of buildings. But nonetheless, 600 MHZ for AT&T and Verizon will not give any benefits for coverage as their existing spectrum already tackled this issue.
Leave your idea's and comments of who should be in the spectrum auction of 2015 for 600 MHZ.
