Hey guys, first post here. I've been enjoying the site for many years, but never felt compelled to post until now.
I can tell you without a doubt that there is no cell freq restriction. I take my personal cell everyday without issue. It works fine inside and out, although some places are a bit spotty.

Did you read the fbo.gov website?
I can assure you that if this restriction is not legit, the losers (ATT, T-Mobile, Sprint) would sue.
It may be that this Verizon tower is on base, while the towers you use are not.

This is a requirement for a NEW tower. I can see them restricting bandwidth to sandwich in a new carrier. EAFB is a very RF noisy environment. Have you ever been to the base? You're not reaching any tower off base. I can assure you that there is no restrictions on cell freq's allowable. Much ado about nothing really.

If there were restrictions in place, personal cell phones would be prohibited, and they're not. Again, much ado about nothing. I guess some folks will read more into something when they "want" to see something.
They are simply trying to reduce crowding, not prohibit anything.

When I mentioned crowding I was referencing bandwidth, not physical space for another tower, once again an absurd leap on your part.
