Universally true, isn't it?

Although they tried and gambled, they also paid for the spectrum.

There are jobs and competition needed. If there are some open band can be used, they should have chance to pay for the worth of that airwave.

They paid for the WRONG spectrum. Not the FCC's fault. Its their own. They played with fire and got burned. Only one to blame is themselves.

There are jobs and competition needed. FCC might want to think about it.

Then they can sell the spectrum and use the money for something else more useful. Why should the FCC force the DoD to swap because some company wanted to use something for which it wasn't intended for.

How exactly did they buy the original troublesome spectrum?

I believe the spectrum came with SkyTerra during an acquisition by LightSquared.

This idea might actually help nudge the big duo's in many areas to wakeup and build out.

The "big duo" are already deploying infrastructure to the tune of billions of dollars. The "promise" of LightSquared offering a wholesale network is a belief that consumer prices would come down for mobile data.

They acquired spectrum through acquisition of a company that did mobile satellite communication. Said spectrum wasn't meant to be used for terrestrial service, but rather ground-to-satellite. They were attempting to get a waiver to use it for ground-to-ground use, which they couldn't get due to interference it caused. They gambled and lost.
