Yhteisverkko LTE 900

A press release from Yhteisverkko mentions that they use LTE 900 as well. I am not sure how to fit this into the table for Finland. Drahtlos (talk) 22:58, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

List of LTE networks in Europe

Re this edit: You may notice that it's tagged as a mobile edit. I removed the headers because on my browser (Android Firefox 84) the headers are not the same width as the columns they're supposed to correspond to. It also has a very different UX to normal tables which I as a frequent mobile user am not used to, and when scrolling the table horizontally the headings don't follow. This latter point in particular makes it totally useless. If it was introduced for the benefit of mobile users, I'm afraid that in my opinion it has failed.

Any change gets undone

I spent an hour this afternoon updating the Dutch providers to get their information up to date. The current situation on this page dates back to circa 2018, a lot has changed since then. Most thing are plainly wrong (for instance in case of frequency use). I've added verifiable sources based on data of the Dutch telecom regulator. However, everything gets thrown into the bin. As does literally every change on this wikipedia page. If the goal here is to prevent every change that's not made by a select group of persons, it would make sense to just protect this page.

Maybe the problem is that some moderators here have too high of a standard for verifiable sources. They seem to think that a commercial deployment is only true if it is written about on TeleGeography or in an official press release. Fact of the matter is that this doesn't always happen as end users aren't interested in this. For instance KPN in The Netherlands has been converting all their sites to at least 4CA (but mostly 6CA) since last year on very different frequencies than stated on this site. Unfortunately I cant change this, because it gets thrown into the bin.

So, either we choose to knowingly keep this page outdated because the only allowed sources don't report about it OR we take other sources at face value (for instance: does this seem logical, are there enough sites with a certain frequency or CA profile to call it a commercial deployment). That way we can keep this page up to date and it can truly be a reference. Currently it's hit or miss and not reliable anymore. That's too bad. Uhro87 (talk) 20:36, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

5G/LTE networks of Europe

The Irish mobile operators have been using B1 and B28 on a "temporary licence" for over a year now, Is it possible to add these, like a separate category? Also Three and Eir have been refarming n3 10/15 MHz for 5G, but I can't cite any sources because they never announce it (Except for some threads and a Linkedin).

I think there should be at least inofficial sources. See List of LTE networks in Europe --> UK for an example on how this could look like. Nightwalker-87 (talk) 21:21, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
@Nightwalker-87: I have a feeling these are not official enough. [1] [2] [3]
The second and third reference should be fine from my point of view. :-) Nightwalker-87 (talk) 17:59, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
