Isn’t that the whole point of the database?

No company can buy more than four licenses per census tract. There is also an additional 80 MHz of GAA spectrum, which will include 3.65-3.7. I would guess metro areas will go fairly high but rural areas not so much. Since the census tracts are so small, small WISPs may see more value in their coverage area than the big guys. In my opinion, this is the best opportunity for WISPs to gain access to affordable licensed spectrum ever. Also, there is opportunistic use of licensed PAL spectrum, if it is not being used as governed by the SAS database. Read the rules, keep up on the upcoming auction proceedings, identify the census tracts in your area and get prepared to bid!
