Sprint Clears 35MHz of BAS Spectrum
Stupid Question
I know this will be a stupid question but what does this mean excatly? It is greek to me. Thanks for the help in advance
...
You can count me in on the not understanding. I read Sprint replacing aging TV brocacasting equipment and thought to myself WTF? Sprint is a wireless phone company not a TV company, that's where I got lost.
...
Sprint owned an old crumbling road that was making it difficult for different vehicles to drive in a straight line without colliding with each other.
Sprint cleared the road and rebuilt it because the DOT made a law requiring that the vehicles could drive without colliding.
Sprint now has a higher speed road and it has kept a lane for itself while other traffic runs on the remaining lanes.

^ applause. Helluva answer

Also, Sprint is a telecommunications company.
That means they have all sorts of other telecommunications businesses. For example, I believe they one a major backhaul line across the US for IP traffic. They main own a few transatlantic cables as well(someone correct me if I'm wrong).
The cell phone side of the business is the most visible part to the end user. Since what is mentioned in an article would be more of a B2B issue, most of us wouldn't be in the know.

you are correct. sprint owns and runs a good bit of ip backbone. i believe they employ a few CCIEs (the technicians that make the internet WORK) as for the transatlantic, i'm sure it's possible, but idk for sure

I think you're confusing the 800 MHz rebanding. This was just so Sprint could nab 1990-1995 MHz for themselves while allocating the rest to future mobile broadband and satellite.
...
Because it's more of an explanation of the 800 MHz relocation, and not the moving of BAS to new frequencies.
There were no "collisions" with BAS, the new channel plan was part of the conditional license that Nextel got from the FCC. They were given the 1990-1995 MHz in exchange of moving BAS over to new frequencies.
Indeed what they gained by doing the BAS move was a "repayment" of sorts for the FCC requiring that Nextel reliquish their frequency licenses below 862 MHz.
Simply, there were no issues or conflicts with BAS itself, it was just moved to free up spectrum for Sprint, which they had to tackle themselves in order to gain.

Please use the road analogy for the more confused readers(including myself).
So in a sense, Sprint simply shifted what lanes they use. I make no difference between 800MHz and 1900MHz since the entire spectrum is essentially one really wide road(from 0MHz to infiniti MHz).

I still don't understand why Sprint (a wireless phone company) is replacing aging television broadcast equipment.
...
They could own some of it and license it.
UHF is used for many reasons not just TV its is the frequency not what its called that is really important. Looks like this frequency is used (my guess cb type broadcasting) by emergency services, hence the 2004 ruling.

Spectrum is used for more than just cell phone frequencies. Sprint can use old spectrum that was used for tv and convert that air space for broadband signal.
