In a recent spectrum auction by the FCC, T-Mobile scooped up a large portion of the 1700 and 2100Mhz bands. For the wireless geeks that want to know all the details, you can check out the FCC page. For the rest of us, what does this mean? In short, faster downloads for supported devices in the future. T-Mobile has dropped hints that they’d be rolling out UTMS next year. This acquisition puts them right on track to set up a 3G network with speeds up to 1920 kbit/s. To compare, currently EDGE is only 180 kbit/s.
