Many stations are evacuating ahead of their deadlines, though.Īlso, if T-Mobile merges with Sprint and disappears up its own rear end figuring out how to reconcile the two businesses, all timelines are off.

Comparing the maps, it looks like northern Wisconsin and Michigan the Dakotas and rural Missouri and Kansas will initially get the Band 71-only treatment.Įxisting TV stations are relocating out of the band in 10 phases between now and July 2020.

Those towns already have T-Mobile coverage the point is for T-Mobile to be able to test its Band 71 equipment in a real-world context without making too much of a splash.īefore the end of 2017, T-Mobile has promised to install Band 71 in parts of Wyoming, Northeast and Southwest Oregon, West Texas, Southwest Kansas, the Oklahoma panhandle, Western North Dakota, additional areas of Maine, Coastal North Carolina, Central Pennsylvania, Central Virginia, and Eastern Washington. Right now, it's in Cheyenne, WY, and Scarborough, ME. Especially between 2015 and mid-2017, T-Mobile's rural coverage massively changed.

T-Mobile is already viable in a lot of rural areas. Will band 71 make T-Mobile viable in rural areas? Band 71 is about covering rural areas where T-Mobile doesn't have coverage yet. Not if you already have decent T-Mobile coverage, and you tend to go places with T-Mobile coverage. So, does that mean I shouldn't buy an iPhone?
