Well--

--it must be a nice hunk of wide-ranging spectrum. Good for T-Mobile.
Yeah. It's funny. After years of insisting on only using PCS, they are going to be a mishmash of frequencies.

Multiple LTE Frequencies

I believe that this spectrum acquisition by T-Mobile would result in them launching a 4G LTE network in a frequency other than 700 MHz. It kind of stinks that all these carriers around the world are moving to 1 common 4G technology, but there's going to a plethora of different frequencies that they're run in.
Oh no. Clear only has spectrum in 2.5GHz range right?
...
Because every country had slightly different distribution at launch.

The beauty though is once phones are LTE only, it won't be that hard to build one with multiple frequencies.
...
There was only so much 700 mHz to go around and Verizon and AT&T snapped it up. What is T-Mobile supposed to do? Wither and die?

I wonder if...

T-Mobile is gonna get in bed with Sprint. Sprint sold off part of their company to Clearwire, and Clearwire is who makes their 4G networ, right? T-Mobile stated "...including partnering with other companies"

Just food for thought.
They're not going to be in bed with Sprint. They are buying a couch from Clear. Investing in Clear would have been a HUGE mistake which fortunately DT was wise enough to avoid.
