That sounds like a pretty reasonable way to sell spectrum...

I hope this is some time-limited lease and the spectrum eventually goes back to the central government.

I hope that police/fire/military uses have to go through the same process and pay for their spectrum out of their budgets too. Too many other countries just give massive chunks of spectrum to the fire service who will then use it for walkie talkies for 3 fire trucks, when the same amount of spectrum could be used to give broadband, phone and TV to millions of people.
