Verizon is boosting up their spectrum for their LTE services with the recent signing off from the Justice Department on Verizon’s $3.9 billion Advanced Wireless Spectrum (AWS) license acquisition from cable companies Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Bright House and Cox cable companies. Verizon and the cable companies will need to limit the scope of their joint marketing agreements in markets where the companies compete with one another for home broadband services. The deal will also allow for Verizon and rival carrier T-Mobile to engage in a spectrum swap that will give T-Mobile access to an additional 60 million potential subscribers.
