So what M2Z is asking for is FREE spectrum so they can sell their 3 mbps tier at $30/mo that can show porn.

said by bbenso1 :

Not FREE. M2Z would pay the government 5% of their revenue. So instead of getting one payment up front the government would be getting recurring revenue as long as the company stays in business.

said by Matt :

Yes free. If they don't make money (or use creative accounting to hide it) they don't pay the Government a dime.

said by bbenso1 :

Incorrect. 5% of REVENUE, not 5% of PROFIT. If they bring in $1 million and have operating costs of $2 million they would still owe the government 5% of that $1 million even though they actually made no money.

So, the only way that the government would see no money from this deal would be if M2Z had absolutely zero income. If that were the case I can guarantee that the company wouldn't be around for long and then the government would get their spectrum back.
