[RFI] Mobile phone expansion could disrupt key weather satellites

Microwave spectrum is valuable today. Does Falcone still own rights to that 1.6Ghz spectrum? Is so he won't give it up without compensation.

It is a good thing that the HF bands are not used for communications today except as a backup. There would probably be pressure to give up some of our specturum.
