        "excerpt": "Don't get too excited -- yes, it's cool that it can be done at all, but they're buying portions of the the old 800Mhz spectrum. And as I recall, it's 20MHz of channel width -- I could be wrong on that. Againl, it's cool this works at all, but you're not going to see 300Mb/s on it -- maybe 10Mb?\n\n This is to address coverage issues and things like building penetration. Good, but if you are thinking",
