       in Brooklyn, NY, which operates in the frequency range 1850- 1870 MHz.
       Using a spectrum analyzer, T-Mobile determined that the interference
       was coming from an area near 2770 West 15^th Street, Brooklyn, NY
       11224.

    2. On July 26, 2006, agents from the New York Office investigated the
       interference and located the source of the interfering signal on
       1850-1870 MHz to a warehouse at 2775 West 15^th Street, Brooklyn, NY.
       When a directional antenna was placed in front of the warehouse door,

       frequencies1850 MHz and 1870 MHz as well as between the frequencies
       850 and 900 MHz. The agents determined that the warehouse is owned by
