I agree airtime * spectrum is the limited quanity for the provider, and so should influence the cap and pricing.
I did say I thought the argument was bs ...
As far as I can tell, LTE can drive 8-10x the data in the same spectrum over the same time period, as compared to HSDPA. If you're really buying "spectrum-minutes" then you should be getting more data with LTE for the same price.
so... there's also the bw to the tower, which I think most carriers actually lease as well (they don't own the tower, nor the link to the tower) so it's possible that the whole setup just costs them more now. anyway, they do these donkey things because they can :( people have no real option (except not to play the game, ala war games).
