Did they have a reasonable justification for that idea? It does seem to
circumvent the whole purpose of the SAS.

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.

Does anyone know how PAL bidding in CBRS is going to work? 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?"
