this is a wireless question but unfortunately there's no general wireless area, so I guess its a bit of feedback as well
why does rogers (or really any canadian telecomm) not use the 2100 Mhz for 3g?
I've heard it regarded as it once being reserved for military use and not available for purchase, is this still the case? was it ever the case or just a rumour?

2100 is used in Europe for HSPA. It is also used for LTE in some markets in North America. It is not reserved for military.

industry canada is the governing body that allocates which frequencies the carriers can bid on.
2100 is not for purchase in canada

2100 is also used in combination with 1700 for the AWS spectrum. Currently used predominately by wind. Pauly is correct that industry canada decides what frequencies are used by is incorrect when he stated that 2100 is not available.

Actually I am correct. The 2100 Mhz frequency used in other parts of the world is not the same 2100 mhz that we have in canada.
The 2100 Mhz used in other parts of the world is the IMT band. its 2100 mhz downlink, and 1900 mhz uplink.
To avoid confusion in canada they have called it the 1700 mhz band, also known as band 4, and it is 1700 mhz uplink and 2100 mhz downlink.
Therefor, a 2100 mhz phone from europe/asia will NOT work here in canada, thus I was never wrong.
