Interesting information " Signal Boosters in the 800 MHz SMR band only once nationwide band reconfiguration is substantially
completed. And we hereby direct the Public Safety and Homeland Security and Wireless
Telecommunications Bureaus to determine when the nationwide reconfiguration is sufficiently complete
to permit the use of Consumer Signal Boosters in the 800 MHz SMR band, and to issue a Public Notice
announcing the date Consumer Signal Boosters may be used in the band.

Broadband Radio Service and Educational Broadcast Service 2.5 GHz Band. We will
not permit the use of Consumer Signal Boosters in the BRS/EBS 2.5 GHz band at this time. Sprint
maintains that it is in the public interest to allow signal boosters in the 2.5 GHz band.90 WCAI, however,
opposes the use of Consumer Signal Boosters use in the 2.5 GHz band.91 We generally agree with WCAI
that the 2.5 GHz band should be exempt from Consumer Signal Boosters, at least at this time, because of
the historical license uses that have been grandfathered in the 2.5 GHz band.92 Specifically, the 2.5 GHz
band contains legacy educational and commercial video systems that would not be compatible with the
use of signal boosters.93 In view of the forgoing, we will not permit the use of Consumer Signal Boosters
in the BRS/EBS 2.5 GHz band at this time." from http://www.fcc.gov/document/use-and-design-signal-boosters-report-and-order
