US House of Reps approves 1710-1755 MHz reallocation: It's obviously not final yet, but this sweet spot of spectrum in use by the Department of Defense can now be used for 3G and other services. It's so ideally placed that it's likely to be helpful. Even the DoD isn't unhappy because they're getting relocation fees -- part of the notion included in the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (I kid you not).
