An iMode phone from Ericsson for comparison. ericsson.net Me thinks it is the only time I can say that the Ericsson phone is better styled than the Nokia one! Is it me, or are nearly all phones for or from the Asian market ugly?

re: US Wireless Spectrum >> Will Interest In 3G Flag Under Bush? Fred Donovan CT Wireless January 18, 2000 WASHINGTON -- At a government-industry meeting on third-generation wireless spectrum allocation here yesterday, the question on everyone's mind was will the incoming Bush administration be as eager to push for 3G spectrum as the Clinton administration has been? President Clinton and top administration officials decided to target the 3G issue as a priority before leaving office. The administration set strict deadlines for the Federal Communications Commission and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to develop plans to allocate spectrum to 3G use. It identified the 1710-1885 MHz and the 2500-2690 MHz bands for possible 3G use and set July deadline for the entire process to be completed. With all the issues on the incoming Bush administration's plate, allocating spectrum for 3G services might not be a priority. Outgoing NTIA head Gregory L. Rohde hopes it will be. He's been talking with the Bush administration's transition team and has stressed the importance of the 3G issue for U.S. high-tech leadership. But he declined to predict what would happen when President-elect George W. Bush is sworn in as president on Jan. 20. "I've been advocating on behalf of the issue, but I don't know what they'll do," Rohde told reporters at yesterday's meeting. As a parting short, Rohde's agency yesterday issued a notice of proposed rulemaking concerning how the Department of Defense will be compensated for spectrum taken away for 3G use. DoD, which is a heavy user of the 1755-1850 MHz band, successfully lobbied Congress in 1999 to require that it be compensated for any spectrum that it has to give up to the private sector. The NTIA wants industry feedback on how DoD will be reimbursed and how much it is entitled to receive for the spectrum, which it didn't pay for in the first place. The NPRM proposes definitions of what costs 3G operators will have to pay to DoD and how disputes over reimbursement will be settled. << - Eric -
