Commenting on the recent Verizon + Google net neutrality announcement, AT&T opined that wireless networks indeed deserve separate governance rules from wireline broadband networks because they simply cannot deliver the same capacity.
In an official company blog, Joan Marsh, AT&T Vice President of Federal Regulatory, writes "We are constantly striving to increase the efficiency of our spectrum resources, but the amount of available spectrum in any given market is finite. And while we regularly split cell sectors and add additional cell towers, there are very real limits placed on cell site construction by zoning and local approval boards."
She argues that policymakers should protect wireless broadband networks from "onerous new net neutrality regulations" and work toward freeing more spectrum for commercial usage.http://attpublicpolicy.com/government-policy/wireless-is-different/

HSPA+ in the last 18 months, according to a research study completed by the GSMA's Wireless Intelligence service. Over 100 hundred operators have committed to HSPA+ globally and that the technology now accounts for 15-20% of the 300 commercial HSPA deployments worldwide. Upcoming HSPA+ service launches are expected in the coming months from AT&T; Chunghwa and Far EasTone in Taiwan; Singapore's SingTel, Japan's SoftBank; and Germany's T-Mobile, O2 and E-Plus. 
This will support a wide range of IMS-based applications like Multimedia Telephony (MMTel) for China Mobile's corporate customers in Beijing, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Jiangxi, Hunan and Fujian.
A trial in the 2.3GHz band was completed at the MIIT lab in Beijing, China. After the test, Nokia Siemens Networks also achieved the world's first high-definition TD-LTE video call, including handover, with a Samsung TD-LTE device.
