Not yet. That is almost half the frequency, thus half the speed. There
won't be as much desire to use lower frequencies that can be foreseen.
Give them time, and somebody will come up with a proposed usage.
Right now, the public band around 450 MHz is voice only, with rare
exceptions. Police, fire, and other like services are using that. But
above and below, across the TV spectrum, I don't doubt somebody will try
to find a use for any and all of the newly available space. Especially
if it makes money for the FCC, selling that spectrum.
Let's worry about what we already know is being developed and rolled out.
