Purchase frequency band at low price.<br />2. FCC changes the "zoning."<br />3. GPS impacts noted in the press.<br />4. FCC admits "mistake."<br />5. Federal government assigns terrestrial frequency band.<br /><br />Result: Terrestrial frequency band at fire sale prices.<br /><br />Maybe not, but it would be incredible if this were just a technical oversight.Benjamin Walthropnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-45888596079635926952011-09-15T17:01:57.693-04:002011-09-15T17:01:57.693-04:00"Major ramifications" is an understateme..."Major ramifications" is an understatement.
