How is that relevant?
From the perspective of the company, there's no need to have 1900 coverage
available to consumers -- the company sells and supports only dual-band
850/1900 coverage, so anything else is a poor use of resources.
But the issue of TDMA KIC orange roaming on blue if something else entirely,
and a legitimate concern.
