Despite any corporate indications to the contrary, there is -- and
actually has been for over two years -- native Sprint PCS footprint in
Alaska. See the TinyURL below for links to PDF maps demonstrating the
geographically concentrated SPCS coverage in Anchorage, Fairbanks, &
Juneau.
The five-year construction deadlines for SPCS' three PCS D 10 MHz BTA
licenses covering all of AK came due in April 2002. By that time,
legally SPCS must have launched systems covering at least 25% of the
POPs in each of the respective BTAs in order to satisfy that condition
of the licenses. Indeed, the Required Notification applications were
filed w/ the FCC in March 2002. As such, whether commercially
publicized or not, SPCS must have established a few active sites in
AK. As each of the three BTAs are very sparsely populated outside of
the titular cities, the 25% POPs coverage was probably achieved w/
only a handful of sites in Anchorage, perhaps only one or two each in
Fairbanks & Juneau.
The following is an extraction from my own SPCS spectrum database. As
the three licenses were issued in April 1997, adequate service must
have been launched no later than April 2002.
Alaska MTA049 (SID 4500)
CDMA channels: PCS 0375-i
BTA014 Anchorage, AK KNLH465 PCS D 1865-1870/1945-1950 MHz 10 MHz
BTA136 Fairbanks, AK KNLH518 PCS D 1865-1870/1945-1950 MHz 10 MHz
BTA221 Juneau-Ketchikan, AK KNLH545 PCS D 1865-1870/1945-1950 MHz 10

The following is a link to the Required Notification application
submitted to the FCC by SPCS in demonstration of satisfaction of its
five-year PCS construction requirement in the three AK BTAs. Included
are attached PDF buildout maps depicting the unspoken SPCS native
footprint in AK.
