    Dear cell providers, before you get any more frequencies, how about taking care of the large, gaping holes in your coverage you promised to close in the last and pre-last round of frequency allocations?

    6 GHz will be much more useful for WiFi than for cell networks. There is already a massive amount of bandwidth allocated to cell networks, but only a few 80 MHz channels for WiFi.

    The cell carriers just don’t want to make use of their mm wave bands because the equipment is more expensive. The mm wave bands are perfect for cell use in high density areas because the short range allows for very effective frequency reuse.
