So what does this all mean for LPTV and translators?
It means the government will get even more than the $18 billion bid so far, and there will certainly be more than enough to help with the LPTV and TV translator displacement relocation funding. But if you do not consider us "real" broadcasters then free us up to be totally flexible use in the TV band under the rules of ISIX and be done with it!
On the bright side, well, our spectrum rights just gotta be worth more today than yesterday, no? If the auction closes at $1.25 at least in the major markets, that is $7.50 per TV pop. Nice. But if that is the ceiling price of our spectrum, after the government has aggregated it and assigned new flexible use rights to it, what is the floor price? Our price? 50%, 25%, 10%...nothing you say? Nope, we got a floor and we got a ceiling. Oh, the Chairman is calling...
