I think your analogy is faulty. Brett is using a COMMON free frequency  
along with anyone sle who wants to try. The case being considered is,  
as far as I know, an exclusive use of that "free" spectrum . Worse yet  
I bet that if they go bankrupt, as some would predict, the court  
considers the gift of frequency as property to be disposed  of in  
bankruptcy -- to one of the big guys most likely.

Let me get this straight:

A company (Brett's Lariat.com) that has prospered using *free* part 15  
spectrum to compete against other paid broadband providers is wailing  
that *free* spectrum granted to other competitors is unfair?

Isn't sauce for the goose appropriate for the gander?

I don't think we need to delve deep into technical or economic  
analytics to understand this logic.  Failing businessmen often ask the  
government to bail them out or protect them from competition.
