Will be interesting to see what the mobile companies do, especially in the more rural areas. There have been reports of T-Mobile having great success with 5G and all the Sprint 2.5 GHz spectrum. Does this mean T-Mobile doesn’t even need to bother with CBRS because they have plenty of easier-to-use mid band spectrum? Does this put more pressure on AT&T and Verizon to use whatever mid band spectrum they can lay their hands on? What about the C-band auction?
I know mobile companies like to have every bit of spectrum they can lay their hands on. They also like to “own” spectrum so they can list it on their balance sheet as an asset. On the other hand, CBRS seems to involve extra complexity with the SAS that other licensed spectrum doesn’t require. I’m also wondering if they will all bid on PALs because they want that spectrum as an asset, or will they conclude they can accomplish their goals with GAA? They don’t seem to mind using 5 GHz unlicensed for additional capacity. CBRS is great and all that, but if it all the SAS ends up doing is protecting coastal radar, it seems kind of complex. Still, higher xmt power and no LBT.

So in my area, I have the following concerns with CBRS now: 1. Ship based radar 2. Cellular LTE users 3. CBRS based radio systems like Nitro Seems like a real gamble to put up equipment in a metro area with all the potential people competing for channels.
