Nextel  Comments On The "Scam Plan" (Through the Back Door) In Their 700 Mhz Guard Band Report.
Nextel is pushing the "Scam Plan" from all angles.
I bet the opposition will have some comments on this........

NEXTEL 700 GUARD BAND CORPORATION
ANNUAL GUARD BAND MANAGER REPORT
DUE MARCH 3, 2003

<SNIP>
As the Commission is aware, since the licensing of the Guard Band spectrum, the Commission initiated a rulemaking to address increasing incidents of interference in the interleaved 800 MHz band between Public Safety licensees and commercial and private radio licensees.8 Several plans for solving this interference have been presented, and the Commission has before it a Consensus Plan, submitted by seven of the leading national public safety organizations, most private wireless associations and Nextel, for further consideration.9 As part of a comprehensive realignment of the 800 MHz band, the Consensus Plan proposes that Nextel turn-in its near-nationwide Guard Band licensees for reallocation and assignment for public safety use. In exchange for this and other exchanges of spectrum in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands, Nextel would receive replacement spectrum in the 1.9 GHz band.
Assuming that the Commission adopts this aspect of the proposal, Nextel will no longer be the licensee of this spectrum. In the event the Commission does not adopt an 800 MHz band plan to address public safety interference that includes a spectrum swap involving the 700 MHz Guard Band spectrum held by Nextel, Nextel intends to meet its substantial service requirements on the Guard Band by the 2015 license renewal date.
