I hope someone had the presence of mind to point out to the FCC that
AT&T's tower inventory is available online already, most of them can be
found by searching ASR and FAA studies, and that 190' towers are
generally not hard to find.

I think it was discussed on the WISPA list. Something about not
revealing BS locations for security or competitive reasons, I think.

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?"
