Nextel and FCC Swap Bandwidth

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the clearing-the-air dept.

evilninja writes "Techweb is reporting on the sale of 10MHz worth of bandwidth to Nextel by the FCC. One term of the agreement will solve a problem that has been frustrating the FCC for some time. Nextel will return some of their bandwidth to the public domain, since it has been interfering with local emergency channels in some areas."

    They weren't using emergency channels, numbnuts, they were using channels that interfered with them. Big difference.
