Qualcomm bought the spectrum, channel 55, for $ 100M. And at the most recent auction, channel 56, which has the same characteristics, went for $ 1.3B - PJ,

Don't we wish that our investments have that kind of appreciation ...?

I liked Mossenburger's response - so you have provided an unwanted service in an efficient manner? (Again, not verbatim) It's as if Qcom put a building on a piece of land: no one wants to use the building, but the land has appreciated in value. That's not good management - its wasted opportunity!

The more the spectrum appreciates, the greater the loss. It's not just the immediate dollar value the spectrum. Better use of the airwaves increases the size of the wireless industry - Qcom would gain more royalties and sell more chips.
