You know, technical arguments why some customer should not be transmitting willy-nilly on these spectrums aside, I always end up at the same conclusion: the customer is fucked. That seems indicative of missing regulation. Picture the scenario. FCC auctions spectrum to BigBadMobile. Customer enters into contract with BigBadMobile, whose mobile network is completely overloaded and barely reachable for customer, but there are no other providers. Customer installs signal booster at his own cost to enhance the signal to the only provider. FCC turns around and tells customer they can't do that. Now maybe the FCC should connect frequency allocation with requirements to provide adequate power and coverage to customers, and we wouldn't be having this discussion. Thats how state sanctioned monopolies work, right? You get a monopoly on X but you have to provide service to those that would not normally be profitable to service.
