Lawsuit Filed To Delay Spectrum Auction

Apr 28, 2006, 1:54 PM by (staff)

A cofounder of the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has filed suit against the FCC in a US district court today. Maria Gonzalez along with the EMR Policy Institue, American Skin Association, and others seek to block the AWS (3G) spectrum auction scheduled for June until the FCC prepares an environmental impact study of the effects of long term exposure to low level radiation in the new spectrum. THe NRDC has previously challenged the FCC's exposure guidelines, but has not been successful.

The wait?

Long term exposure research? That's going to take...a long time.

So if this lawsuit gets serious and the research is actually required before the FCC can auction off the spectrum, are we going to be waiting longer for 3G services from the little guys?

Right now, it isn't looking too good for T-Mobile.

if t-mobile can get something in that 1600-1700 band width then i guess that would be great. if thats considered to be "low level" then that suck for them.

they should also research that 700mhz qualcomm is holding back for that media service.

i don't believe T-mobile isn't too little..mabey compared to Cingular.. but i mean it is backed by the Huge German based T-mobile which has lots of money$ ... but yes i would imagine this lawsuit filing has already put a pretty big delay on the 3g wai...
