The other day I read that here (Spain) three companies have agreed to jointly use 5G on the 700 Mhz band on rural areas. https://www.adslzone.net/noticias/operadores/movistar-vodafone-masorange-acuerdo-historico-0524/ Movistar, Vodafone and MasOrange sign a historic agreement that is unprecedented With a totally unexpected agreement in the telecommunications industry, Movistar, Vodafone and MasOrange are willing to make an impact in the Spanish market . The three operators have agreed to seal an alliance that will change the rules so that there is a radical change in the way in which customers access their services. There were many people who hoped that something like this would come true. Movistar, MasOrange and Vodafone have agreed to share the spectrum of their 5G frequencies so that a revolution can occur in the mobile telephone sector in our country. With this, they will share the 700 MHz frequency and will ensure that citizens living in rural areas can benefit from a notable improvement. Not only will they have more hiring capacity, but they will also enjoy better levels of connection. For the way in which 5G services are offered in Spain, it is a very high-level change. .... -- Cheers, Carlos.
