I thought the move to do midband mobile spectrum with t-mobile and offer line of site coverage across 100% of the country was a pretty big move. Existing phones can be enabled on this spectrum. I also see it being leveraged well for edge services where classical 5g towers are just too damn expensive to pout out that far
