If PAL is unused, others can use it as GAA. Kind of like T’Pring in Star Trek, even if Spock wins and doesn’t reject her for exercising the right of challenge, he will be gone and she can still be with Stonn. OK, maybe not such a good analogy after all.
However, the big telcos want to just put claimed service areas into the SAS rather than actual lat/lon of basestations, which seems like a way to claim territory without putting up a base station at a verifiable location. Not that I would suspect them of trying to game the system and squat on spectrum.

I'm too tired for deep reading tonight. My first thought was "maybe we should just bid $1 (or the minimum) for a channel in every tract around us just in case nobody else does." Second thought was "There are only around 73,000 census tracts in the US, what stops somebody with deep pockets from bidding $1000 on all of them? If I'm Google, why not bid $10,000 each?" -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
