Some insane numbers in the story. TV stations would be paid to give up their spectrum. The one in the story is in Michigan and is run by a community college. Here are the possible dollars involved: The national average starting auction price for a station to relinquish its spectrum and go off the air is $155 million. Can anyone more knowledgeable weigh in on this? Don't the numbers in the story seem really high? Is there really such a shortage of spectrum that someone would pay that much for spectrum that's not in one of the top few metro areas?
