lowest lte frequency

Wasn't sure where to put this. Who's going to have the lowest lte frequency when everyone has their network said and done? Att?

Any reason why?

According to this:
"Verizon and AT&T both run their LTE networks in the 700-MHz band. But Verizon's network is mostly in 746-787MHz, while AT&T's will be primarily in 704-746MHz."

The gross frequency is nice in that it reduces the cell density requirements, but the fine details of upper vs. lower band are negligible and a higher frequency just needs a different RF design to meet the same coverage needs.

My hope is that the global LTE spectrum fragmentation will encourage the use of software tuneable antennas rather than having a bunch of different parts for individual carriers - but that's a while off.
