There's a lot of confusion about the new AWS band these days, so we've created this handy guide to explain all the nitty-gritty details. Although this article focuses primarily on AWS, it's hard to explain AWS without touching on some general radio spectrum topics and the other major cell-phone bands, so we'll cover some of that, too."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Jerry-us-complete-spectrum-chart.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />This is worth looking at even if all you read is the background explanation on how bands are allocated. It goes in depth with lots of colorful pictures on what AWS is and what it will be used for.

Cool write up. That cleared up more than a couple things for me. :)
