Just looking at Verizon, apparently they use the 800/1900 MHz bands generally.
So this adds a large chunk of spectrum for their... voice services?
(EVDO is in the 1900 MHz ish band)
Block C will be used for LTE (4G) service. It also has some "open-access" requirements as well.

Ah, 4G. Also: the open-access requirements still are limited to Verizon's customers.
Which, I guess, is a good thing given Verizon's history with proprietary goods.
