You know, the old \"layer cake\" spectrum plan that T-Mobile was pushing a few years ago?\n\n I think uplink is the largest problem in the areas where low-density 600MHz cells are deployed...rural and difficult propagation areas. I don't know of an easy fix for that. They have lots of 2.5GHz and AI-RAN will likely help greatly in managing up/dow",

On Oct 8, Grain agreed to sell that 800 MHz to SpaceX, and T-Mobile gets 50% of any excess proceeds. T-Mobile also picked up 102 AWS-3 licenses in Auction 113 ($278M) and has 600 MHz deals with TStar ($290M) and Comcast. It passed on EchoStar's spectrum because of price.\n\nSatellite: AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile formed a JV on Sept 14 to tackle dead zones and pool spectrum for satellite providers. T-Mobile says there's no consumer or edge MVNO with SpaceX and describes satellite as an inferior substitute for FWA in most areas.\n\nUplink: the CTO said traffic grew ~5x in five years and is becoming more uplink-heavy because of AI, wearables and physical-AI devices. Radio uplink is the main constraint, and the fix is 5G Advanced uplink features plus TDD spectrum (C-band 2.0 and 2.7 GHz auctions).\n\nAI-RAN: T-Mobile claims the world's first AI-RAN call on a live network (Bellevue). In NYC trials, AI radio planning beat expectations, and partners cite 20–100% spectral-efficiency gains.\n\nBroadband: FWA is ahead of the 15M target, but T-Mobile no longer reports FWA line counts. Fiber is reaching ~20% penetration within a year of launch, with a target of 3–4M customers by 2030.\n\nCustomers: net account adds fell...",
