And the guy breaking the story has this to say:
»pcsintel.com/modules.php?name=Ne···sid=1100I'm sure many of you will ask my personal thoughts on this. Personally, I think it is the most amazing cooperation between corporate, technological, and political facets of society to-date. It will secure the country, and deliver something that no other technological society has ever offered; wireless broadband internet for everyone. It will ensure that every commander can communicate to every single person he or she is in command of, either through the chain of command or directly at any time. It will ensure that the United States will be the leader in wireless communication and national communications security for the next 25 years.
We are reporting all of this today, which we have known and been briefed on for an extremely long time, because we have been notified that Sprint's competition, namely WiMax ISP newcomers that you probably have never heard of before, have learned this information above within the past week.
In short, they are flying to Washington D.C. to fight back in Congress and with the FCC. Now aware to these plans, they see that all their technology investments will go to waste if the FCC choses to pull their 700 MHz licenses key to WiMax "in the public interest". While we love a good behind-the-scenes fight, we have been informed this news will become public domain later this week.

And they'll be broadcasting from.....?
So they'll be using Nextel's/Sprint's cell system and towers for broadcasting.
Well, aren't we just right up and cozy with the DoD all of a sudden.

Oh, I'm sure he's being serious and probably has some inside information so that he knows that the government is literally going to try to control our minds. Yep, must be. |

Re: Why
They announced the sale of the 800Mhz band a long time ago in exchange they'll get 1900Mhz frequencies, »www.howardforums.com/showthread.···d=709947. I think the WiMax thing is far fetched though. There is a thread about this over at the Howard Forums, »www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=756907. |

The government wants all the 700Mhz and 800Mhz frequencies, why would they give Sprint some back for the iDen network? This article makes absolutely no sense. |

Re: Yeah right
Makes sense. . . .DOD gets CONUS network with CCI handsets and CCI text messaging devices (Crackberries). DHS and Feds have had CCI handsets for years on IDEN.
HUGE COUP for /\/\ if true....all IDEN infrastructure including subscriber devices..../\/\ = Sole Supplier
Big Play for Sprint if this can be executed!

| Interference
The biggest problem with this scenario is that it does not address the existing issue of RF interference on 900MHz. Nextel had been in negotiations with the government for some time to do a frequency swap in order to get off 900MHz and stop interfering with public safety radio. Of course with the opening of the upper UHF channels due to DTV conversion, I suppose the guvment could make the argument that public safety radio should move down there and they will keep 900MHz.

| Hmmm....
So, Sprint/Nextel customers are going to be loosing their iDEN equipment which offered encrypted communications by default for a less secure CDMA technology... I wonder, is Sprint/Nextel going to offer some sort of encryption on its new network for these people or is the government now going to be the only group with access to encrypted wireless communications ?
