Claim:
A computer-implemented method of analyzing spectrum assets using processor, memory, and data storage units, the computer-implemented method comprising: collecting data from a communications authority via the data storage unit, said data pertaining to license, channel, and lease communications information for a mapped area; filtering said data via the processor unit, said filtering comprising removing unwanted data or adding information to be considered; dividing said mapped area into a plurality of market service areas and dividing said mapped area into a plurality of basic trading areas via the processor unit, wherein some of said market service areas overlap others of said market service areas, some of said basic trading areas may overlap others of said basic trading areas, and some of said market service areas overlap some of said basic trading areas; separately dividing said mapped area into territories, said territories each comprising spectrum of one or more channels from the collected data, wherein some of said territories overlap others of said territories; separately dividing said mapped area into one or more polygons for each specific license that is covered by each respective mapped area; separately dividing said mapped area into one or more polygons for each specific lease that is covered by each respective mapped area; locating all of said market service areas and all of said basic trading areas and all of said territories and all of said polygons which comprise a region overlapped by one or more other of said market service areas or other of said basic trading areas or other of said territories or other of said polygons to form a superblock boundary region for each of the overlapped regions; and identifying all of said data within each of said superblock boundary regions.
