The "real" real problem is not the carriers. Its the way the government manages the spectrum.
We could have a dynamic marketplace where devices, users, networks could buy spectrum in advance or real time and even resell it.
We need incentives for making the most use of spectrum, for making more spectrum with faster clocks. Seems we have incentives for controlling and inhibiting innovation.
Instead we've sold spectrum to the highest bidder who can then control access to it and have no real open competition. Maybe Google's bid last year will change that a bit (http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9910932-7.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9910932-7.html).
You ought to be able to create your own network by buying spectrum in a fluid marketplace. Or just be one guy buying spectrum as you need it for some device you made yourself.
Don't if that all makes sense, but I think you may at least see what I mean by the problem behind the problem.
