This is great news for those individuals like myself who work in the cable television construction industry. AT&T has over 40,000 miles of existing plant that is using 450Mhz equipment that will need upgrading DESPERATELY as more and more people clamor for things like Digital Cable, broadband solutions via coax, etc... Currently most digital cable provision is via 550Mhz equipment and above (with 750 and 860 the standards new deployment). Thus, corporations that have long been subcontractors to Comcast, such as Communications Construction Group will once again have much to do.
