It's still not set in stone. The US is supposedly working on freeing up the 2100Mhz band for 3G. IMO that is necessary as in many places as Scott said there's just not enough bandwidth. T-mobile locally has just 10Mhz available. That's NOTHING. To run UMTS, they'd have to carve off 5 Mhz of that... and there's no way in heck they can handle any sort of 2G traffic in 5Mhz of bandwidth. It's just not enough.
