FCC to Reorganize 800mhz Band?

nick0909 writes "Years in the making, the FCC is finally close to deciding if they will allow Nextel to pay for the reorganization of the 800mhz bandplan. In return the FCC will give Nextel a new band in which to operate their phones, where they won't destroy public safety communications. Other cell companies are angry because they had to pay millions for their GHz frequencies, and argue Nextel is getting off cheap. On top of this, if the 800MHz band gets re-sliced, will the FCC continue to push TV broadcasters out of 700MHz, which was supposed to go all to public safety in the coming years?"

    You know what sucks? "mhz" isn't even millihertz. That would be "mHz". "mhz" isn't a unit at all. So next time you try to be pedantic, make sure you're not the one ending up looking like a fool...
