12 AT&T has provided a map showing lack of in-building “LTE 700 coverage.”17 This concedes that there is outdoor LTE 700 coverage. According to AT&T: LTE allows the following benefits, at much faster speeds: • Stream your favorite movies. • Download and view HD movies. • Download songs in a few beats. • Share photos in a flash. • Watch live TV in HD. • Play multiplayer online games.18 AT&T explains LTE on its website:19 With 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE2) technology, we can meet your demands to access a variety of content over our mobile network. We use a variety of technologies and frequencies to support our network. Some areas within a market may have different spectrum portfolios depending on the area and the license they own. Our 4G LTE network is composed of the following bands: • 700 MHz: Bands 12/17/29 • 850 MHz: Band 5 • 1900 MHz: Band 2 • 1700 MHz /2100 MHz: Bands 4/66 • 2300 MHz: Band 30 As you can see, 700 MHz is only one band on which it provides LTE-type services. AT&T has not explained in any way how significant it would be to have allegedly less “LTE 700” in-building coverage or what the actual cell signal strength would be in those areas. Moreover, because FirstNet subscribers have access to AT&T’s full network, they have the same coverage as AT&T’s customers. The FirstNet and Family plan gives you the best of two networks to keep your worlds connected. First responders and the extended public safety community get the mission- critical wireless network and prioritized connectivity of FirstNet, and families get to save 25%* on the world-class connectivity of AT&T.20 Here is a copy of the coverage map for this area provided on AT&T’s website: 17 Application, Attachment C, p. 5. 18 https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1008740. 19 https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1008740. 20 https://www.firstnet.com/faq.html.
