T-Mobile iPhone 5 users get faster HSPA+ speeds via hacked software
Two hackers claim they can boost HSPA+ data speeds on Apple iPhone 5 smartphones being used on the T-Mobile US refarmed PCS 1900 MHz network.
Aereo's influence could open more spectrum for mobile broadband
Mobile broadband providers could gain access to more TV broadcast spectrum under a developing Senate bill that would essentially punish any broadcaster that moves certain programming from over-the-air availability to cable by requiring the FCC to auction that broadcaster's spectrum.
These spectrum auction restrictions became an exercise in futility
To see a disheartening example of what can happen when a government regulator tries to increase wireless competition by keeping spectrum from a nation's dominant operators, shoot a quick glance at the Great White North.
Report: AT&T, Verizon 'putting spectrum to use as fast as they can'
If dominant incumbent operators are punished for their success by having their access to additional spectrum restricted, the upshot may well be slower innovation rather than more competition, according to a new report from Robert Hahn and Peter Passell, economists specializing in regulation.
APT700 MHz leads the way to global LTE spectrum harmonization
While 1800 MHz is becoming prime real estate for LTE deployments, APT700 MHz digital dividend spectrum continues to gain importance as a potential global band for LTE, according to the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA).
TV white spaces roundup: Another database administrator, new IEEE standard and more
March has roared in like a lion as far as TV white spaces (TVWS) are concerned, with a host of regulatory, standardization and new pilot activities being announced.
U.S. leads in freeing spectrum for mobile broadband
The FCC gave itself a pat on the back via a new white paper showing the agency has put the United States ahead of eight other developed nations when it comes to freeing spectrum for licensed mobile broadband. In addition, U.S. efforts to unleash unlicensed spectrum for mobile broadband far outpace those of the European Union.
T-Mobile CTO: 1755-1780 MHz is prime spectrum for LTE
BARCELONA, Spain--Freeing up the 1755-1780 MHz block through spectrum sharing will not only aid U.S. mobile operators that desperately need additional frequencies for mobile broadband but it will also aid spectrum harmonization efforts across the Americas, said Neville Ray, T-Mobile USA CTO.
FCC becoming a leader in unintended consequences
Recent regulatory battles highlight the downside of hurried spectrum refarming, meaning the rush to enable cutting-edge wireless broadband services can cause interference issues if done shortsightedly, negatively impacting not only existing services but sometimes even the new ones.
FCC charges ahead with 5 GHz Wi-Fi spectrum plan
The FCC's move to release more 5 GHz frequencies for gigabit Wi-Fi use reflects efforts to develop and employ spectrum-sharing techniques to open up encumbered frequencies. It also highlights the ongoing battle between parties advocating for licensed vs. unlicensed spectrum allocations.
