Subject: TA Announces Prioritization Plan
News Release from APCO International
The FCC designated Transition Administrator (TA) made the announcement
of their plan to proceed with the 800 MHz Rebanding during the recent
APCO Winter Symposium Series in Orlando on Monday January 31st. The plan
was submitted to the FCC on the same day. Subject to the approval of the
FCC, the plan would consist of four major waves beginning with the first
wave scheduled for June 27, 2005. The first wave of action took into
account the needs of major population centers that have experienced the
greatest degree of interference.
Final implementation is also dependent upon final approval and agreement
by Nextel. Nextel has a deadline of February 7, 2005 to approve and
commit to the FCC Rebanding Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
