Folks, when do y'all suppose rebanding will start in the 700's? Also, who will be the type of entities moving there?

That's the band previously assigned to analog TV. I heard they were going split that freq spectrum into blocks and auction the paired blocks to cell phone companies and use a large unpaired block for public safety.
I would think the licenses they are granting now are to stay. Surely they do not want another Nextel type mess which costs a ton of money to fix for the end user.
Then again, what do I know! Government at work.
800 rebanding per the FCC agreement was at no cost to the PS ends users but was paid for by Sprint-Nextel.
As for entities, for the most part, Public Service trunking systems are impacted. In addition, any interop frequencies will also need to move.
