I guess it would make sense for those who are wanting to have something
inside the metro areas or places with dense population otherwise yes
this is a great opportunity for those who are in the rural areas.
I have both so I am wanting at least 1 pal to secure our future here.
I dont have too much anticipation that the telcos will light up much
here but we want to be prepared.
We also missed the deadline on locking in our existing APs at the time
of april 2015 so its somewhat crucial we have something to lean on.

10 years of idle time without getting a return on your investment,
while the GAA user use the spectrum for free. Not a winning
investment, though there is a lot of stupid money out there.

In the interest of getting the ACTUAL rules into this discussion
instead of just speculation, this is what the FCC rules are on
term and renewal requirements:
(3) /License term:/ Each PAL has a ten-year license term.
Licensees must file a renewal application in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1.949.
(4) /Performance requirement:/ Priority Access Licensees must
provide substantial service in their license area by the end of
the initial license term. “Substantial” service is defined as
service which is sound, favorable, and substantially above the
level of mediocre service which might minimally warrant renewal.
Failure by any licensee to meet this requirement will result in
forfeiture of the license without further Commission action, and
the licensee will be ineligible to regain it. Licensees shall
demonstrate compliance with the performance requirement by filing
a construction notification with the Commission in accordance
with the provisions set forth in § 1.946(d) of this chapter. The
licensee must certify whether it has met the performance
requirement, and file supporting documentation, including
description and demonstration of the bona fide service provided,
electronic maps accurately depicting the boundaries of the
license area and where in the license area the licensee provides
service that meets the performance requirement, supporting
technical documentation, any population-related assumptions or
data used in determining the population covered by a service to
the extent any were relied upon, and any other information the
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau may prescribe by public
notice. A licensee’s showing of substantial service may not rely
on service coverage outside of the PAL Protection Areas of
registered CBSDs or on deployments that are not reflected in SAS
records of CBSD registrations.
(i) /Safe harbor for mobile or point-to-multipoint service./ A
Priority Access Licensee providing a mobile service or
point-to-multipoint service may demonstrate substantial service
by showing that it provides signal coverage and offers service,
either to customers or for internal use, over at least 50 percent
of the population in the license area.
(ii) /Safe harbor for fixed point-to-point service/. A Priority
Access Licensee providing a fixed point-to-point service may
demonstrate substantial service by showing that it has
constructed and operates at least four links, either to customers
or for internal use, in license areas with 134,000 population or
less and in license areas with greater population, a minimum
number of links equal to the population of the license area
divided by 33,500 and rounded up to the nearest whole number. To
satisfy this provision, such links must operate using registered
Category B CBSDs.

You have to actually have gear up, it's not like n license
where you just register. It's got to be live and transmitting,
and it's verified every 4 minutes
Right, someone gets the PALs, does nothing so it's usable as
GAA, then at some point later start transmitting in the PAL to
kick the GAA users somewhere else possibly more congested.
