Hmm forgot they were doing this I guess this is something they are just testing or are they plan on going nation wide??

They have 40 MHZ nation wide with this spectrum. They could offer really nice LTE service with it. But, I do not really see them getting into the handset market unless they partner up with someone, I see them as a data delivery for internet. AT&T and VZ are essentially rolling out a similar LTE to the home service. But, they tend to have low caps and expensive overages. I hope that Echostar comes in much less expensive.
