Sorry, but, the government does _NOT_ auction spectrum space off to the highest bidder in all cases. If they did, amateur radio would be dead, as would FRS, CB, and probably a lot of the part 15 allocations. Owen
It's this kind of thing that keeps areas of the radio spectrum licensed by the government.
And the govt licenses that spectrum to the highest bidder, plus allows owners to sell spectrum to each other as assets. Pretending the RIRs are even remotely similar is disingenuous.
