That's kind of disappointing. Do you know what mechanisms they plan on
putting in place to keep the big carriers from just snapping it all up and
warehousing it? I guess that would still mean we could use it as general
access as long as they are just squatting on it and not deploying anything
in our census tracts, but I have to suspect the cost to outbid us on every
license would not be a show stopper for companies used to bidding billions
on spectrum auctions.
Making the PALs specific to census tract and year might discourage it a
little. It says licensees will be able to aggregate across time, frequency,
geography, I wonder how many years out they will let you bid on. And
whether current licensee gets first right of refusal on extending the time.
If everything gets re-auctioned in a year or two, that might discourage
bidding on spectrum if you don't intend to use it.

I'm going to need some of that extra 100mhz in the near future.
Does anyone happen to know what the license cost will be for either the
general or priority tiers?
Does the FCC even know yet?
Better yet....when will we be able to buy a license?
