And of course want to divide 4 g

After Hi and TIM decided to build a unique network of fourth generation mobile telephony, came the turn of Course Telephone and seek to join forces.
According to it the value PRO, real-time service of value, the two companies share the same frequency are 4 g. Telefónica entered this month with a query on the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) to know if, by regulation, the operation of sharing is possible. Though not cite the name of the Course in the request for consultation, the report found that Telefónica has interest in partnership with the Mexican group América Móvil. The Clear owns a block of contiguous frequency to Telefonica.
Searched by Value, the Course reported, in a note, which is favorable to infrastructure sharing. "Proof of this is that [the company] has shared much of its radio base stations [base] and have signed agreement with all carriers. What of course is still evaluating is how spectrum sharing can interfere with the end customer experience, since quality is their main concern [...] ".
In an interview with PRO Value earlier this month, the President of course, Carlos Zenteno, came to assert that he discussed "the idea of sharing equipment and frequency". "When you share the technology, have to share the spectrum and the equipment. We will use frequencies and equipment exclusively for the Course, "he said at the time Zenteno.
One of the obstacles to the initiative is the strong competition that reigns between the two groups worldwide. In 2010, Carlos Slim, owner of América Móvil, tried to enter the block of control of Telecom Italia, but the Spanish Telefónica went ahead.
The network share is being seen by telephone companies as a way out to face the heavy investments in infrastructure to offer 4 g and, at the same time, meet the Fcc's timetable for the installation of new technology.
By the regulatory agency, until 30 April the six host cities of the Confederations Cup should have the 4 g installed. By December, it's time to meet the 12 cities that will host and venue of the 2014 World Cup. For experts, however, the demand for 4 g out of the sporting event will be little expressive. "We are still at the start of 3 g," said an analyst.
