As I have previously said, I am an
early big fan of the potential of the revamped 3.65 GHz spectrum. It
has the benefit of WiMAX quality technology as well as a much larger
power allotment than unlicensed spectrum, albeit not quite so much as
licensed bands offer.
Perhaps even more importantly, companies only have to file once
for a national license and then register their base stations as they
build out---resulting in an almost unlicensed spectrum level of
simplicity.
Well, the deployments are starting to happen. A broadband wireless service provider in Atlanta, GA by the name of One Ring Networks has announced plans to provide WiMAX service in the Atlanta area using 3.65 GHz radios in 2008.
The
company which is focused upon both fiber roll-outs as well as wireless
already has broadband service in several areas in Georgia including the
Carrollton and Braselton areas.
This is an early first shot
over the bow, but I expect to hear of more soon. Just yesterday in
fact, a potential client called me that mentioned they had filed for a
national 3.65 GHz license as well.
Watch this space because I think big things will happen here.
