No 800 band for hams, closest is 902-928 which is the 33cm ham band, it is also used by ISM type devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors, 802.11 internet and wireless video senders.
Sprint is just buying the 2.0 - 2.2 range, alot of the older stuff (licensed since the 60s) was on here. Its easy to pick out as the waveguide to the dish is about the size of a 2x4 and some dishes actually used regular Heliax.
