T-Mobile – AT&T wait for FCC approval, transfer spectrum

By: t-marco January 24th, 2012

 

AT&T and T-Mobile USA have fill up a file requesting the US FCC  for its approval for the proposed $1 billion worth of transfer in wireless airwaves. T-Mobile will receive AWS spectrum from AT&T in 128 markets, a $3 billion cash breakup fee and a seven year UMTS roaming agreement.

T-Mobile has said it needs additional spectrum to keep pace with its larger competitors. It is the only major national carrier with no plan to roll out the faster fourth-generation mobile broadband service known as LTE, and it lost 849,000 contract customers in last year’s first nine months.

Tom Sugrue, T-Mobile’s senior vice president said “This additional spectrum will help meet the growing demand for wireless broadband services,” from a email statement from the Wall Street Journal.

By: t-marco December 29th, 2011

I just bought a my new Galaxy S II from T-Mobile and because i am over seas now, i unlocked the phone and using it with other carrier in South America. Samsung and T-Mobile claim that this phone uses HSPA+ band I, II, IV and VI but nothing about LTE.

Today, using the combination *#2236# i found the phone has LTE band, and not only one .. all of them!

This means the SGS II has the skyrocket modem ? .. i will be available to use LTE with my SGS II?
