> the model which had been in place for allocating spectrum to television and radio (over the air) broadcasting. These are the models (beauty contests and lotteries) that I referred to in my comment. These both have the problem of failing to allocate spectrum where is will do the most good, and beauty contests have the problem of greatly advantaging applicants with close ties to the FCC. Your leasing idea is a little different, but doesn't solve the problem. How are these leases assigned in the face of mutually exclusive applications (which will be the norm for commercial wireless spectrum)? The options on the table so far are beauty contests, lotteries, or auctions.
