SpectrumAccess to spectrum is perhaps the most important input for the provision of mobile wireless services.
Demand for these services has grown steadily and sharply in recent years and projections indicate such
growth will continue unabated. In order for service providers to meet the demand, they will need to put
new spectrum to use and make more efficient use of existing holdings. Because spectrum bands vary in
their propagation characteristics, service providers may make use of different bands depending on the
nature of the service, geography, density, or other factors in their network build-out.
As a general matter, a provider is best positioned if it holds complementary spectrum bands. Spectrum
below I GHz is considered most suitable for establishing base network coverage, especially for wide area
and in-building coverage. Higher frequencies often can best enable providers to increase capacity where
needed, especially to provide higher data rates, and to fill in gaps in coverage. Spectrum from I GHz
through 2.7 GHz is currently often used as capacity spectrum. Verizon Wireless and AT&T together hold
approximately 90 percent of Cellular spectrum based on megahertz-POPs (MHz-POPs), which was the
first band to be licensed for commercial mobile services and has the most extensive network buildout. In

toll revenues. The ARPU calculations are based on CTIA's total estimated subscriber connection numbers, rather
than its reported subscriber connection numbers. As discussed above, CTIA discontinued the practice of reporting a
breakout data series for text messaging service revenues.3716
