Verizon to Use the 700 Mhz Spectrum for 4G Communications
Posted on Apr 7, 08 01:07 PM PDT
In one of the most unsurprising move, Verizon has announced that its $9.63 Billion investment in the 700 Mhz spectrum will be used for the next-generation 4G data connection. Don’t rejoice so quickly, because 4G service won’t be widely available before 2010, and if 3G’s history has taught us something, 2010 might mean 2013…
By the way, 2013 is the theoretical date by which people expect AT&T to have its 4G service. Sprint has chosen to use WiMax and has told us that deployment should happen this year. Computer makers like Asus have pledged to provide cheap WiMax hardware to accelerate adoption.
