So far Dish hasn’t started 5G service and keeps missing deadlines. Makes me wonder exactly what Charlie wants with all of that spectrum?

They are spending money in the Philly suburbs to build out. Just reviewed a lease they offered to get on a client's tower last week. I thought maybe they needed a video link microwave service or something. I did not even know they were getting into public cellular service until recently.

Mickey, It’s not that I disagree with your sentiment, but in 1927 Congress provided otherwise and the provision was carried over into the Communications Act of 1934. It remains the law today and applies to all wireless licenses. When you applied for your amateur license, you explicitly agreed with the provision by waiving “any claim to the use of any particular frequency or of the electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the previous use of the same, whether by license or otherwise.” (Form 605, above your signature.) Every licensee signs that or a similar statement – including the companies that are paying billions for the spectrum. The FCC has discretion to provide for reimbursement and/or replacement spectrum, but must be convinced in each re-allocation situation. 73, Dave K3ZJ David R.

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.
