FCC Gives Nextel Spectrum Shuffle
Approval, But Does Nextel Approve?
07/08/2004 05:39 PMReuters reports that the FCC commissioners voted 5-0 in favor of what
sounded like a Nextel plan to reorganize an ugly band: Nextel owns
tiny slices of a very ugly chopped up range in the 700 and 800 MHz,
and their proposal was to reorganize it so that the public-safety
purposes to which other slices are put can be consolidated and
provided with more reliability. For their part, Nextel would receive a
contiguous range in the 1.9 GHz band, and be less likely to cause
interference in public-safety bands--which many blame not on Nextel
but on the equipment used for fire, police, and emergencies--and have
an easier time in providing cellular coverage at those higher
frequencies. The FCC values the deal at $4.8 billion, but will give
Nextel credit for $1.6 billion in returning the lower-band
frequencies. Nextel has to put up a line of credit for $2.5 billion to
cover relocation costs, which are allowed to exceed that amount. If
Nextel's final bill is less than $3.2 billion, they have to pay the
government the difference. Nextel's response was muted; they had
wanted to pay $1.36 billion. Other cellular operators were complaining
that the deal gave Nextel too much; it looks like the FCC chose this
approach to make it worthwhile to public safety without letting Nextel
off the hook....
