No, but I sure wish it were.  I’d be first in line to help.  We do not have a property right in spectrum unfortunately. Particularly not in spectrum to be shared on a secondary basis.  While I like your thinking on the matter, it is vastly different.  We would have more luck investigating the basis for the water shortage lawsuits out west where towns downstream on the Colorado or other water sources they share as a natural resource sue because upstream is using it all up before they get any.  But, not sure we have anything akin to water rights either.  I know we fail on an eminent domain theory unfortunately.

Just off the wall, but it seems as though this is resembles an eminent domain "taking" and unjust enrichment of a class to the unjust detriment of those affected.

Why can't our attorneys qualify a class for amateur licensees affected - all of us - and get us paid a few bucks for the loss of all this valuable spectrum? If this were land, they could take it, but they'd need to pay the unimproved price to the owners and even leaseholders.

Obviously, I'm not an attorney, but eminent domain compensations have made many wealthy people out of displaced property owners. Is there statute that prohibits this? Why is this $27B not benefiting those who are impacted? Unjust enrichment, I'd say.
