The answer is base station licenses for those who need / want spectrum
with interference protection and higher power. With this model you
could apply for a base station license (in other words 1 tower location
worth of spectrum in one geographic area), pay an annual fee and have
exclusive use of a small bit of spectrum to allow you to offer services
without fear of interference and with higher power which would give you
enough coverage area to serve 100% of the potential customers around
your base station. This is the answer.

Amen. Designing government policy for the purpose of generating the
highest income from spectrum licensing is completely contrary to
policy designed to serve the public. This had a major role in the US
cellular industry losing the worldwide lead (which didn't do any
American any good). Why can't our government understand this?
European 3G spectrum auctions nearly broke the back of BT (forced it
into bankruptcy and spliting the company such that the telecom half
didn't sink with the cellular half ... or at least that's how I
understood it). The FCC should be managing spectrum for the benefit
of the American people, not managing spectrum to maximize government
revenue. But that's just me.

Finally, a big company that's got the brains to tell the government
to stick their high price spectrum tax where the sun don't shine!
