Relocating Federal Spectrum Operations

[SOURCE: National Telecommunications and Information Administration]
On December 27, 2005, the U.S. Department of Commerce provided estimated costs and timeline information associated with relocating federal operations from the 1710-1755 MHz band. The total number of frequency assignments that will be relocated by 12 federal agencies is 2,240 and the cost for the relocation of Federal Government operations is estimated to be $935,940,312. This effort is part of the 90 MHz of radio spectrum that is to be made available for the near term for advanced wireless (including third generation or “3G”) telecommunications services to meet the demand for new wireless services. To complete the 90 MHz of spectrum being made available for advanced wireless services, the additional 45 MHz of spectrum will be provided by the FCC (2110-2155 MHz band).
