I believe the key in this delima is how we modulate the signals in these particular bands. The modification of MIMO antennas and modification 802.xx protocols using better OPSK modulations will intertwine themselves into the 700mhz ring of play.

In cities, already well-covered by existing cellular infrastructure, it is less reasonable to designate this band for cellular. However, it is useful as it penetrates further into buildings than higher frequencies. I believe that text-messaging services, and other low-bandwidth applications which require high reliability, are the best use of this band. Perhaps part of the 700 mhz could be used for control signals in cellular applications, to help the phone find a working channel in which to send its data (voice content and other high-bandwidth applications such as video).
