I&#8217;ve got a few other features I have to add before I can roll it out to more metro areas (specifically, what happens if a specific area is shared geographically by two companies). For now enjoy, I have to curate the data before adding a new metro area to the list and sometimes check bad data against the FCC&#8217;s online licensing system (which is a huge pain in the ass).<\/p>\n<p>Also I&#8217;ve updated the data on the &#8220;By Bands&#8221; page as well (the &#8220;By Carrier&#8221; page is still a bit out of date, the next thing on my list is to write a global data update &amp; cleanup tool). The data finally shows the result of AT&amp;T&#8217;s spectrum transfer to T-Mobile. There are so many pending spectrum transfers going on right now I&#8217;m starting to lose track&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SpectrumCoAWS and Cox sell spectrum (AWS-1 20MHz, 700 Lower 12MHz) to Verizon<\/li>\n<li>Verizon &amp; Leap trade spectrum (Lower 700MHz 12MHz for some AWS-1 blocks)<\/li>\n<li>Verizon to sell Lower 700MHz A &amp; B blocks either already owned or soon to be acquired to the highest bidder in a private auction (most of the &#8220;B&#8221; blocks will go to AT&amp;T, while the &#8220;A&#8221; blocks may go to regional carriers).<\/li>\n<li>Verizon &amp; T-Mobile to trade and sell spectrum in the AWS-1 band to allow T-Mobile to get faster LTE speeds in certain metro areas come 2013.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve probably missed some but Its a lot to keep track of &#8211; its starting to remind me of the BCS and college football conference reshuffling. Plus there is the outstanding issue of Echostar&#8217;s (Dish Network) 40MHz of satellite they want to convert to terrestrial cellular. Why Charlie Ergan wants to start his own cellular carrier I don&#8217;t know, seems like more of a headache &#8211; I&#8217;d just sell the spectrum and take my 6-7 billion dollars in profit and retire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over this past weekend I spent time coding and a new feature has arrived!
