So you can stop right there. As long as the spectrum is segregated that way,
among the different cellcos, it will be used in ways that benefit those who
paid the exorbitant fees, and not in ways that benefit the consumer.
Yes, users move. The networks are designed to hand off calls
Within the spectrum the cellco owns. As long as this is the case, the cellcos
will need to accommodate peak demands individually, to maximize their own
revenues, EVEN IF there's a scheme which allows users to roam to other cellco
spectrum. Again, a this arrangement benefits the cellcos and not the customers.
The cellcos' only motivation is to maximize profits, not to offer the consumer
the most sensible connection.
But you are WRONG about usage patterns (peak demand). This tracks
consistently across all carriers.
Again, words that say nothing. People move between cells. The ratio of users
belonging to different cellcos, within any cell at any time, will vary
randomly. You are insisting on arguing over obvious points, Craig. It just gets
annoying.
Again, there is NO correlation with TV broadcasting today.
The only point I made in this regard had NOTHING to do with ATSC 3.0. It had to
do with the way TV spectrum is allocated. All TV networks, and all TV vendors,
share exactly the same OTA standard, and have access to exactly the same set of
frequency channels. The fact that ATSC 3.0 may introduce another transition is
beside the point. It will indeed cause a big waste in spectrum, for the
transitional period, as much as ATSC 1.0 did during its transitional period.
But that's another discussion, and no one in his right mind would question that
transitional periods make inefficient use of spectrum. Analog shutoff allowed
for Ch 52-69 to be taken away from TV, while ever more programs came available
OTA. QED.
