After reading the analogy above regarding spectrum space, I shudder to think what the community response would be if the FCC were to tacitly allow the ARRL to receive several million (or billion in this case) dollars from, say, Verizon in exchange for some part of our exclusive amateur bands. Indeed the ARRL has a fund (the "Spectrum Defense Fund") with the purpose of employing lawyers and public policy folks to help prevent our community resources from shrinking out from under us.
But clearly the cell carriers need all the spectrum, for only they know what's best for us.
