[RFI] Mobile phone expansion could disrupt key weather satellites

[EDWARDS, EDDIE J]

Another utility iDEN system out there is or was in Ohio/Indiana area what was Cinergy now Duke Energy.  Recently heard from their radio engineer who said they were replacing it very soon.  

Sprint/Nextel has spent hundreds of millions on 800Mhz rebanding over the last 15 years.

Both Sprint and SouthernLinc have repurposed the rebranded spectrum for LTE and possibly a smattering of CDMA. The border with Mexico is as yet to begin/complete rebanding (removing the interleaving).
