I hear that all the time and unless there’s something I’m missing, it’s a bunch of crap. Probably a misunderstanding that there are more UHF channels than VHF channels? What I hear/read a lot is that millimeter wave frequencies carry more data because of the higher frequency. Bah! It’s because you can use wider channels.
In this case, I suspect it’s just that the LTE guys don’t want VHF spectrum. But UHF is right next to frequencies they already use.
