As of March 31, Sprint estimates its costs directly associated with completing the reconfiguration of all 800 MHz licensees will be $331.3 million or less, said the carrier in filing Wednesday in FCC docket 02-55 (http://bit.ly/1qszEC3). The number is based on forecasts submitted to the 800 MHz Transition Administrator and reflects “the amounts remaining unpaid under executed contracts as well as an estimate based on the TA metrics for the small number of licensees in the U.S.-Mexican border not yet under contract,” Sprint said. The FCC approved an order in 2004 that launched the rebanding with a goal of eliminating interference to public safety systems in the 800 MHz band.
