| CGI award protested by rival
A CAD 400m ($354m) Canadian public sector outsourcing contract that has reportedly been awarded to CGI Group is under fire from the incumbent contractor that lost out in the most recent round of bidding. Ottawa-based TPG Technology Consulting is calling for a public inquiry into Public Works and Government Services Canada's decision to give the contract to CGI, Canada's top services provider. TPG alleges that Public Works changed the proposal evaluation process to favor large firms, and that CGI's ties to the agency may have had something to do with the award. .

FCC plans for 700 MHz draw heated debate
Nearly drowned out in broad policy debates over controversial public-safety and broadband wireless proposals are pressing questions about how the Federal Communications Commission will craft the 700 MHz band plan.
A coalition of 21 small- and medium-sized wireless and wireline carriers and state regulatory agencies are worried the FCC is leaning toward a 700 MH band plan largely favoring large geographic wireless licenses over small ones for auction later this year.
This is a matter of great importance given the unique technical attributes of the 700 MHz band, which make it ideally suited to serve many of the more rural areas that are served or are proposed to be served by the proponents of the Balanced Consensus Plan, the group told the FCC.
Included in the coalition are Alltel Corp., Aloha Partners L.P., Dobson Communications Corp.
