Bush 3G plan in the works Oct. 01, 2001 4:26 PM EST WASHINGTON—The Bush administration is set to unveil a new plan that dramatically rolls back the amount of spectrum the mobile phone industry would get from the Department of Defense for third-generation wireless services, a stunning turnabout in the aftermath of terrorist attacks against the U.S. that have policy makers fixated on national security. Sources said the Commerce Department, Federal Communications Commission and DoD have agreed to designate for 3G the 1710-1755 MHz and 2110-2150 MHz bands, slices of the airwaves previously transferred from the federal government to the private sector. The mobile phone industry also would obtain an additional 15 megahertz in the 1700 MHz band, which is currently occupied by the Pentagon, resulting in a 1710-1770 MHz allocation for 3G services. An announcement is expected on Friday. The Bush administration's solution, which will be presented at a 3G meeting in Tokyo on Oct. 10-17, falls far short of what industry wanted. Mobile phone carriers not only counted on the 1710-1755 MHz and 2110-2150 MHz bands, but were also basing 3G business plans on securing the 1755 -1850 MHz band from DoD. rcrnews.com
