The Senate wants to make way more spectrum available
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/11/07/the-senate-wants-to-make-way-more-spectrum-available/
Under the draft text of a bill now being informally
considered by the Senate Commerce Committee, the government
could be instructed to find and relinquish an additional 20
megahertz of publicly owned spectrum beyond the 30 MHz President
Obama agreed to when he signed a two-year budget deal on Monday.
Agencies would be required to auction off the total 50 MHz by
2024.

Somehow you just know that Verizon and AT&T will find ways to eat this
all up for themselves. Follow the money.
