 SBT emphasizes technical solutions to 800MHz interference; rejects Nextel’s clear possession of spectrum to swap
Nextel has claimed rights to substantial blocks of 800 MHz channels that would be used for relocating public safety, but SBT noted that statement was inaccurate because it ignores the channels that are licensed to Nextel Partners Inc., an entity in which Nextel Communications, Inc. is a minority shareholder.
Nextel Partners is a substantial holder of spectrum that would be required to facilitate Nextel Communications’ radical rebanding plan, yet SBT pointed out that Nextel Partners had not filed comments in this rulemaking nor endorsed its minority shareholder’s statements.
“Nextel Communications’ long-sewn patchwork quilt of channels continues to be just that, and it is this cobbling together of channels across the 800 MHz band for operation of a low-site cellular system that is one of the primary causes of that interference suffered by 800 MHz operators,” SBT said in its Reply Comments.
