Affects Nextel only

You know the FCC is making Sprint get off 800 mhz which are the Nextel IDEN phones only. Sprint itself uses 1900mhz CDMA which is not affected at all. Funny, if the FCC makes them do this, a lot of fire fighters and public safety people will get knocked off too. For those of you that don't want the competition from Sprint, think twice. The fewer providers there are the higher rates will go. I sell 4 different carriers and I want them all to stay, maybe even some new ones as well. I sell a lot of T-Mobile but certain areas near me have better coverage with Sprint or at&t. Sure is silly to bash other businesses, with unemployment higher and the economy in decline I hope all these companies do well.

The reason that the FCC is so all government agencies (firefighters, public safety officials, etc...) can use this frequency for their 800 mhz radio network. They will not be knocked off.
