:The only alternative to an auction is to give the spectrum for free or nominal charge to those that they feel deserve it.
Which leads to pandering to special interests of a representatives state/region/campaign contributers.
That is not in the nations public interest. I don't see him having a plan that is superior than we currently have.

The best alternative to the spectrum would be to lease it out. Place specific demands in the lease, for instance, a buildout requirement, etc. This would prevent companies such as verizon wireless and AT&T from leasing the spectrum and sitting on it.
