Re: BPL just won't die: another vendor trying BPL
said by wondering pawn :
Why did the Hamster`s group allows NEXTEL to interfere with Emergency Communications since mid-1990`s ... if it was vocally fighting against BPL for fear it will interfere with 911 system... is this a bias campaign ????
Because the band which Nextel and trunked radio operate are not used by the HAM radio community and therefore, we have no say in how those are used.
AND, if you bothered to do any research, you would have known that one of the big obstacles to swapping the frequencies was Verizon. Verizon wanted the space the FCC was giving Nextel (before the merger) to be auctioned off (so that Verizon could buy it themselves.) The end of that was when Nextel gave up the copyright on "Push to Talk" that Nextel had associated with their service.
That year, the FCC approved a plan to move Nextel and public safety to separate blocks of spectrum. Sprint Nextel, which acquired Nextel last year, will get prime airwaves valued at $4.8 billion.
Above is noted the spectrum that Verizon wanted. |
