The way Chairman Copps talked about it at a recent conference in
Milwaukee, I got the idea the auction might be approachable for a
small business. Cellular market areas would be a WISP's (or consortium
of WISPs) best bet in terms of number available (734 - we're bound to
get at least one ... right?), size and demographics - but they are
also some of the most valuable because they allocate 2x10 MHz channels
vs the 2x5 MHz channels of blocks C-F (B gives 2x10 for 176 economic
areas).
And then there's the question of what to do with it. Huawei was the
first to announce UMTS gear for 1700 MHz. I haven't heard what else is
in the pipeline. It's a crapshoot. But the potential is awesome.
Re: the 2x channels .. does this mean two licenses will be rewarded
per area? Or one license will get both? Or both together make the
thing "duplex"?
Best,
