Sprint/Nextel Merger...
CelluNerd said:Consider them independently operated companies working towards a difficult goal: Cross-platform technology integration. It's going to be a while.
When will this happen and what are the biggest changes that will take affect?
nextel has contiguous spectrum in 800 and 1.9ghz. most of their towers are on 800. all they have to do is change that to cdma instead of iden. thus; half of nextel's towers will be on the cdma network by 2007-2008 time frame.
i cant tell you exactly when they are going to start for obvious reasons, but its not as hard as you think it will be.
any questions please ask.

Wrong dude, NEXTEL does NOT HAVE contiguous 800 MHz Spectrum yet. They won't have it until the 800 rebanding is completed and all of the NPSPAC Public Safety users are relocated from 866-869 to 851-854 and 821-823 to 806-809 respectively. That is a long way off as the Transition Administrator has...
(continues)
and by the way, the plan is scheduled to sunset in 2009 and from that point forward NEXTEL can populate 1.9 GHz. Your wrong again....
the plan is to end in 2008.

Rebanding will be coordinated through a Transition Administrator team headed by BearingPoint and Baseline Telecom. Last week, the Transition Administrator released a schedule calling for rebanding to be completed by the middle of 2008.
"
your wrong.

I'm not wrong....the middle of 2008 is closer to 2009 than with the incorrect information that you posted. 😛
it will get done 2 years from the order was oked. they accepted it in feb 7th, 2005. 2-3 years equals 2007-2008. you said 2009 that would be 4 years. i said 2 years. 2007-2008 is 2 years.

and be sure to read the bottom of page 2 where it states that:
After the completion of the reconfiguration, the TA must audit the expenses accrued by Nextel and determine whether Nextel will be required to provide the U.S. Treasury with an "anti-windfall" payment in exchange for an authorization to operate at 1.9 GHz.
Is is because of the review of the TA and the requirements to re-write the treaties with Canada and Mexico that this will go way into 2009.
by the way.... authorization to operate is way differnt then getting immediate access..
one can get immediate access but cant operate it yet.
another thing .. http://www.newratings.com/analyst_news/articl e_593609.html
In a research note published yesterday, the analyst mentions that the FCC has awarded a $452 million credit to the company for spectrum swap. Nextel Communications would gain access to 1.9GHz spectrum 60 days after the final order is registered with the Federal Register

they dont have contig spectrum in the 800 till the order is finished.

good luck.
in exchange for the spectrum Nextel is surrendering...
coupled with the uncertain costs it must incur to accomplish 800 MHz
band reconfiguration, clear the 1.9 GHz band of Broadcast Auxiliary
Service (BAS) incumbents and reimburse UTAM Inc., (UTAM) for a portion
of the costs it has incurred in clearing the 1910-1920 MHz and the
1920-1930 MHz band segments, the Commission will modify certain Nextel
licenses to provide Nextel with a nationwide authority to operate in
ten megahertz of spectrum in the 1.
(continues)
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Nextel’s 1.9 GHz modified licenses do not authorize
Nextel to begin operations in the band until Nextel files with the Commission an acknowledgement that
meets the requirements of paragraph 87 supra.

they have access to the 1.9ghz. they cant use it, however, till they clear all of the incumbents. i know for a fact they have access to it!

obligations imposed by this Report and Order, and on its payment to the U.S. Treasury of any differen...

Your amazing...you posted the requirement right here and you still said I'm wrong. You need to read what you post.

1. they get immediate access.
2. they cant use it till they pay the incumbents
3. they cant use it till some obligations are done.
4. they get immediate access.

i would belive nextel's people and brokerage firms over you. you dont have any interest or money into nextel while they have billions. so thus; i belive them over you.
sorry.

nextel18 said:Just a little tidbit that might help your credibility with others on this board (although I strongly doubt it)...it's believe. That's how you spell the word. What's the point of even posting on this site if every member thinks you're a fraud? I mean, if I were posting on this site and everybody thought I was a fool...I'd just go elsewhere. Geeze.
thats your opinion.

nextel18 said:LOL. That's funny. "I don't care if what I'm posting is thought of as funny by every member of this forum".
credibility on this board means nothing to me. i dont care how to spell it, becuase i dont want to be a nerd like you. if people wants to think that thats up to them, i dont care.
what the goal is; is to make nextel's iden customers to migrate to cdma by using qchat. execs have been thinking to just use iden for people who use push to talk mainly. like fbi, public safety etc... but who knows with that.
in 2007-2008 that is when the migration should take place. half of nextel's towers would be on the cdma network.
hope that helps..
any questions please ask.
