Abstract
The concepts relate to radio channel utilization. One example can monitor a location of a mobile device that has cellular capabilities. The example can identify a set of channels that are available to the mobile device at the location. The example can also send the set of channels to the mobile device with a suggestion for the mobile device to utilize one or more of the channels of the set to accomplish data communication rather than using the cellular capabilities.
