Powell Accuses Predecessor of Merger Review Abuses
[Phillips Publishing International,Inc.]

[snip -- snip ]
The chairman reaffirmed that the FCC will meet the timetable set by the previous Clinton administration for resolving third-generation wireless spectrum issues with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration by this summer, and for auctioning off the spectrum by September 2002. He said that, as far as he knew, the Bush administration was also committed to meeting those deadlines.

Powell said he supported efforts by Sprint PCS [PCS] and other carriers to use spectrum already allocated for wireless data services for 3G services. Sprint PCS has indicated it doesn't need additional spectrum to be able to offer 3G services.

Both the FCC and NTIA recently issued reports about the suitability of allocating the 1710-1885 MHz band -occupied by federal agencies including the Department of Defense - and the 2500-2690 MHz band - used by mulitchannel multipoint distribution services and instructional TV fixed services--to 3G services. Powell was noncommittal about whether the disputes over these spectrum blocks could be settled in a timely fashion to meet 3G deadlines.
