Move to New Airwaves to Cost U.S. Government $936M

Jeremy Pelofsky writes for Reuters:

Moving the U.S. Defense Department and 11 other government agencies' wireless communications to new airwaves will cost almost $936 million, according to a government estimate released on Wednesday.

The Federal Communications Commission plans to auction 90 Megahertz of airwaves potentially next year, including the government frequencies, and wireless companies are expected to bid for them so they can offer new and improved services, like video and high-speed Internet access known as broadband.
