Commerce Department Announces 3G Spectrum Plan
Jul 23, 2002, 1:10 PM by (staff)
The Commerce Department has identified 90 MHz of spectrum for 3G wireless services and sent draft legislation today to Capitol Hill that would establish a relocation trust fund to pay for moving current users from the spectrum. Under the scheme, half of spectrum will be the 1710-1755 MHz band now used by federal government agencies, including the Defense Department. The other half will come from the 2110-2170 MHz band currently occupied by non-government users. The Defense Department has until 2008 to relocate certain parts of its systems under the plan. However, Defense Department officials and the FCC said today that the government will not officially allocate spectrum for 3G until 2004 or 2005. Advanced services likely won't be available until a couple of years after that.
