Philadelphia's new digital emergency (police, fire, EMT) doesn't work because of cellular phone interference.

Philly's system is 800Mhz.
So there HAMs. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Should we ban cell phones that create a REAL (not imagined) problems? Oh wait a minute. HAMs don't use 800Mhz so I guess cell phones are OK.
yeah, once again this problem is money talking, without thinking about science and existing services. Nextel has pushed there way into frequencies that pollute public service. |

| When the FCC wanted to give Nextel some PCS spectrum, Verizon Wireless jumped in and cried foul and offered some cash for it.
This put them in a unique position. Either Verizon Wireless doesn't care about public safety or they are spectrum whores and still don't care about public safety.
Either way I thought it was kind of funny.;)

| yeah, I remember reading and responding to that topic on the news here. I can understand that Verizon doesn't care about public safety, that is not expected of them. What does surprise me is the FCC and their actions or lack of. I know little of cell phone modulation types, but my guess is your first response to the iDen signal being dirtier than tested is the true root of this disaster. |
