There are so many inaccuracies in the main content of this page, i.e. the frequencies and where they are used. Researching this will take a lot of time, which I don't have. A very reliable source for finding the correct information is http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/index.shtml. I also think it would be better as a table with regions and countries as rows and frequencies as columns. NFH 08:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Wait, since when has the 896-901/935-940 MHz band been allocated for cellular usage? According to 47 CFR Part 90 Subpart C, that's still allocated to the Industrial/Business Pool, not cellular. I don't think that Nextel can use it for SMR, but if anything, that's where it should be. And the frequency range for SMR is wrong. It's not all used by Nextel, 866-869 is reserved for Public Safety, which will be changed to 851-854 as soon as rebanding is completed.

Since the FCC ceased to be the worldwide regulator for cellular frequencies. 900MHz is used in much of the world, including the entirety of Europe, for cellular access. This article is not specific to the US.
