Where did you see this?  “POP” in the spectrum licensing context usually means 
population covered, as in the price is $X per MHZ-POP

TMobile said they plan on pushing out 30-40 MILLION pops this year. Obviously 
pop is loosely defined.

That's how all the cell carriers see this playing out. LTE will be more 
ubiquitous than WiFi when they are done.

  I'm still not sure how they're planning on circumventing physics. Frequencies 
this high aren't going to go through much of anything,  so either they're going 
to have to have an insane number of microcell or they're just using it for 
tower to tower applications.  Either way,  they're only going to be serving 
areas that likely already have various high speed options. This isn't something 
that is going to help spread high speed Internet to underserved or unserved 
areas.  

  That's not how they're going to pitch it to the general public though...
