Legacy GSM and CDMA. That's only part of the equation, though. There is also
the issue of various bands of frequencies that the carriers lease from the
government through spectrum auctions. It's a convoluted mess that the FCC
has only managed to make worse and worse. Say what you want about the
outgoing FCC chairman. He did a couple of things right, but between spectrum
auctions and net neutrality he managed to make hash of everything.
