We have no other purpose for our existence. In some way, shape or form, the public expects to derive benefits by granting us access to a broad selection of radio frequencies. Today, the public finds that spectrum is valuable. Their preference is to assign spectrum to the highest valued use. The mechanism they have chosen to make this assignment is by auctioning spectrum to the highest bidder.
Bidders independently choose how to optimally use their spectrum.
The public buys their services, or the provider goes broke, and the spectrum re-sells to another party. In this way, the market, over time, identifies the highest valued use. This approach impacts Amateur radio. By focusing on the present, and the future, we expand our value to the public. Our value to the public declines and the public decides to re-assign our spectrum privileges to higher values.
