A
band set up for independent carriers
|
|
|
| – |
B
band set up for traditional wireline carriers, such as
|
|
|
|
the
Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOC)

| – |
idea
was to ensure competition in all markets, while
|
|
|
|
restrict
potential proliferation of companies that would
|

complicate

|
|
|
| – |
today,
many independent carriers bought by RBOCs, so
|
|
it is
not uncommon to have one company operating in
|
|
|
|
Band
A in one market and Band B in another market
|
|
|
