Re: how said by howexact :How exactly did they buy the original troublesome spectrum? Did the fcc sell it to them as usable ? If so, then yes, they do need to help them try to do a swap.. This idea might actually help nudge the big duo's in many areas to wakeup and build out.... /shrug
They acquired spectrum through acquisition of a company that did mobile satellite communication. Said spectrum wasn't meant to be used for terrestrial service, but rather ground-to-satellite. They were attempting to get a waiver to use it for ground-to-ground use, which they couldn't get due to interference it caused. They gambled and lost. |
