Thanks for posting this Gino, I read the article and thought it was interesting. My only concern is there will be that many more bidders in the PAL license area. I think that this alliance has the capability to be a very good thing for wisps. But it will make us have to spend the money to actually purchase our spectrum. This is a new thought for many of us.
These 3 main players are already in the LTE market with Intel, Qualcomm, and Nokia already having silicon that can do the CRBS band. A stable uniform platform may arise from this that may interoperate between carriers and may give WISPs the first time chance to partner with celcos with interconnect agreements. Our networks will have to be able to handle it but I think there is more revenue possible, at least for Rural WISPs. Companies in very metro areas are probably out of luck. The thought of having a large amount of equipment that all uses the same spec, the same timing mechanisms with GPS sync, allows us to buy into the technology and share the spectrum. Maybe we can make this band work the way that we wished all the bands worked and interoperate with everyone who follows the spec and not be fighting the big boys all the time....
