  I was waiting for someone else to report this, so I didn't submit it
when I saw it, but nobody has and now I don't have the details in
front of me but ...

  There was an article in the paper here (LA) the other day that said
there was a petition (due?) before the FCC to allocate a portion of
the spectrum currently used for commercial mobile phone systems (taxi,
delivery dispatching) to be divided up for an alternate cellular-type
phone usage. Sorry, I don't remember any of the technical details but
maybe someone else can follow-up.
