It runs the full allowed channel bandwidth (~20Mhz I believe) Other blocks only go to 10 or 12. Will matter more in a few years.

Not hard to remember the area code out that way. I loved North Dakota and would come back in a heartbeat. Have you ever slid down the Garrison dam?

According to Wikipedia, block D is still unsold. It can be ours from 1.3 billion. Let’s get that Kickstarter going.

South Dakota only has one city. They used to make Gateway computers there. And there is some treasure buried near some famous rocks there. I know this because I lived in North Dakota for many years.

AT&T will be able to run a 10×10 network in them at 700 MHz. And Verizon will continue to run the same 10×10 network it has been running at 700.

Absolutely nothing. Verizon is simply selling spectrum it owns but isn’t nor won’t ever use….the only one actually using it.
