Are you suggesting that carriers share a transmitter? That seems pretty unlikely.

Also, isn't duplicate coverage the same thing as increased capacity?

Take all the spectrum that is now doled out separately to each of the carriers, 
and combine it in one pool. For each cell in a given market, you allot only the 
number of RF channels they need to meet user demand. You don't duplicate 
coverage, just because each carrier has to use its own spectrum.

This assumes that cells use shared towers, as they usually seem to do. Of 
course, if cells do not use shared towers, you would achieve even greater 
savings.

Now, overall, this approach will save spectrum. No unnecessary duplication of 
coverage.
