Verizon has been in talks with companies such as Comcast and Time Warner to acquire additional spectrum to beef up their network. The spectrum in question just so happens to be the same frequencies that T-Mobile’s HSPA+ runs on, so naturally, T-Mobile is not good on this deal. T-Mobile argues that the nation’s largest mobile carrier does not need this additional network and that T-Mo could actually do a better job at deploying and making use of it.
We can’t blame T-Mobile for trying their hardest to get some more slices of the pie. It’s now in the hands of the FCC and as many have stated, we sometimes wish there was better regulations when it came to issues of spectrum purchases.
