Many of those licenses had serious restrictions, which is why the auction 
reverse was so low in the first place.

 numbers) would have gone for $180k -- with the small business 35% credit - 
 that means a WISP would've paid $117k for that spectrum
 
 While $117k is nothing to sneeze at, it's just worth noting that getting a 
 license is not something unreasonable or unobtainable for the small guy
