Thanks for your good analysis. You see, I'm quite reluctant to add more reference to the 700 MHz LTE frequency on band 12. The reason is that LTE on 700 MHz will soon be adopted (and sometimes already is) in Europe, Asia and Australia too. But their LTE 700 MHz will be on band 28, not compatible to US-style band 12. So we will get to the point that mentioning 4G/LTE on '700 MHz' brings even more confusion than explanation.

So I don't think we should promote LTE 700 MHz as a way for people not having bought a device specifically for the US market to get more widespread data coverage. This is right now very unlikely (except on the new iPhone) like having a device from out of the US carrying 1700 MHz (AWS). In the long run, I agree that T-Mobile will loose its disadvantage in their limited LTE coverage (on AWS and PCS) compared with AT&T and even Verizon.

I think that before giving more reference to an improved T-Mobile LTE coverage '700 MHz', we need to make this clear.
