It’s going to be interesting, I wonder why the carriers would pay anywhere near the kind of money for CBRS spectrum that they are used to for low and mid band spectrum, when they can use it for free as GAA. Similar to 5 GHz. No cost, and opportunistic use for carrier aggregation.
On the other hand, they get rewarded for carrying spectrum as an asset on their balance sheet. I’m thinking of a scenario where the auction sets too high a minimum bid, and they get zero bids. Even 10 cents per MHz-POP might be too high, if it can be used as GAA at no cost. As long as they have an anchor channel in other spectrum, CBRS is like icing on the cake, nice but not mission critical, and possibly not worth paying much money to “own”.

Carrier aggregation is a whole different game of spectrum usage.
