That's still what 5G is. The other stuff is marketing nonsense.
That is the bandwidth per customer, not an entire node,
Substantiate your claim, Craig. In any case, a wonder you didn't pick up on
this, it does not change the point. If anything, it strengthens my case. That
600 MHz spectrum, of which a total of 84 MHz was grabbed back, and on average
T-Mobile only got 31 MHz, doesn't come close to providing any sort of credible
backhaul for 5G. I gave you a half way credible estimate that would require
more than the entire 600 MHz band, and at least twice as much 600 MHz spectrum
as the FCC took back from TV broadcasters, to feed just one 5G cell.
I can say unequivocally that T-Mobile WILL deploy 5G in the 600 MHz band.
Yeah right. We know how well thought out your proclamations are, Craig.
Offering wireless broadband is hardly enough to qualify as "5G." How absurd.
But feel free to give us some numbers, to show how this T-Mobile 600 spectrum
would do anything 5G-related, with rationale. Not vague banalities, thanks.
