So, if there's NOT an existing sub-lease in your area, who would you
sub-lease FROM?

100% of the Clear network is getting shuttered in favor of 8T8R LTE
(almost the same coverage as regular 1.9 LTE). WiMax is getting shut
down in November and their Huawei LTE stuff is getting pulled per the
terms the government imposed.
If there's not an existing 2.5 license in your area you can sub-lease,
you can't get any 2.5... for now.

*Subject: *[AFMUG] Clear / Sprint / 2.5 Access
I have been hearing rumors over the past several weeks, one in
particular this morning made it's way into my inbox.
I wanted to confirm a few things I've heard, and go over what I thought
I know/knew.
So, Clear owns 2.5. "The schools" were assigned this at one point,
something something blah blah.
Anywho, Clear gets bought by Sprint. Sprint cuts a bunch of the clear
workforce/network.
Now Telrad (and maybe 1 more?) are selling 2.5GHz solutions.
So, questions:
If the schools in your area didn't "claim" 2.5GHz when they had the
chance to, is it possible to gain access to the band? Who would I talk
to about gaining access? Does anybody have an email/phone number? Also,
what kind of pricing are we looking at?
Thanks. I'm a bit fuzzy on all this, and trying to confirm some rumors.
