Clean spectrum costs about $150,000 for a 50km range. Fairly cheap if you need it. That is what the canopy system uses. No problems. but when there is a sieman's phone blasting at a full watt 24/7 wether it is in use or not, your range suffers.
It shouldn't cost anything. This is, after all, a zero cost medium. Whoever gives money to the government to buy part of the spectrum will have to make that money back by by charging consumers. This is in a sense a tax on EM waves.
If you look at all the small Wi-Fi networks that are springing up all over the country, it seems pretty obvious that many of us are providing a great public service at very low cost.
IMHO the FCC should consider who can provide the best service at the lowest cost, not who can come up with most money.
