And let's not forget too that relatively few phone manufacturers have
thus far announced firm plans and/or ship dates for devices that
support this new frequency range. Thus, I think most people will be
holding off on 3G for a while, both because of phone lineup and
obviously because of the fact that it will be quite some time before
it's nationwide.
