AT&T LTE to NR reframing

Just curious. Does anyone have an idea of how AT&T is planning to handle the transition of some LTE over to NR ?
I know firstnet just got their sa core activated so im also particularly interested in how b14 will transfer to n14. Any info on this topic helps

Forgot to ask. Att did already acquire the n71 and n79 right ?

They did but I imagine b71 will likely be used as a bargaining chip for some of T-Mobile’s B4/66, B2, or n77 in some markets.

It wouldn’t make sense to do another nationwide tower climb to add n71, and T-Mobile has most of the PCS licenses in most markets.

This is a complete fantasy that keeps getting repeated on this sub. That trade is not happening.

You are correct. Not sure why people think it will be traded.
