Re: Sell it with no restrictions

There is no reason the government should have ANY say in what a company does with what it buys.
Not true.

The seller of an item can choose to put conditions or restrictions on the sale all the time. If a prospective buyer refuses to comply, well, they get told to take a hike.

A classic example is a business that sells off some facilities--- BUT makes the buyer agree that they can't run a competing business in those facilities.

Example: A restaurant chain sells off some locations. As a condition of sale, they prohibit the buyer from opening a competing restaurant, or selling it to someone who would, for xx number of years.

It's perfectly acceptable for the FCC to set rules as to what spectrum is used for/how it is used. This is part of the license they draft. In fact, that's their main job, actually.
