I didn't read through the whole thing, but from what I got skimming through it, it sounds like they basically want PALs to be auctioned for the entire 150mhz, instead of the current 70mhz they're limited to, and they want a single entity to be allowed to hold more PALs... and some changes to the licensing structure to make it a bit more like traditional licenses. It probably wouldn't change much in areas out in the middle of nowhere, that the big companies don't have much interest in, but in some areas, I would imagine you'd end up with the three biggest cell carriers in the area snapping up all the PALs, making the entire band essentially non-existent for the rest of us.
Their statement that there won't be enough investment in the band without those changes is pretty obviously nonsense, since there's already plenty of gear that will operate in the band available... and the new system isn't even online yet.
