According to the Cingular release below: "Cingular Video requires a $19.99
MEdia Net Unlimited data package." No mention of MEdia Basic. (The current
MEdia Works isn't the same as MEdia Net Unlimited or the old MEdia Works
Unlimited -- it only includes 5 MB of MEdia Net data.)
More from Phone Scoop:
"Cingular also announced that the next two 3G handsets it will launch are the
Nokia 6282 and LG CU500. This indicates Nokia has upgraded the 6282 to include
WCDMA 850 and 1900 for Cingular. LG has not shown off the CU500 before and
little is known about this new handset."

Bands aren't licensed in the USA by technology -- Cingular is free to use
WCDMA on any of its licensed spectrum.

Maybe we should have the "Wild West". Aside from the economic implications
(monopolization, slow technological progress), I can imagine the FCC
trying to respond to an incident where terrorists take out huge segments
of the cellular network w/ cheap jamming equipment.
FCC Chairman: "Well, we have regulations against that kind of use,
Senator. What more can I say?".
