Here is an example of Europe being different than the US, and one reason I figure that MMDS license will change.

Esat says in line for wireless licences
DUBLIN, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Esat Telecom Plc (Nasdaq:ESAT - news) said on Wednesday it expected Ireland's telecommunications regulator to award it two Irish wireless local loop licences.

Esat said the Fixed Wireless Point to Multipoint Access licences -- one broad band, the other narrow band -- would complement its fibre-based local exchange strategy in Ireland and would bring the benefits of broad band technology to a wider audience.

Wireless technology offers a radio-based alternative to copper or fibre optic cable, connecting customers' premises to the nearest access point.

Esat Telecom said the broad band licence would help it expand services such as broad band Internet access, multi-media, and electronic commerce, while the narrow band licence would allow high-speed voice and Internet services to the home office and high-end residential market sectors.

Irish media reported on Wednesday that three other companies -- eircom Plc , cable group Princes Holdings, and U.S.-based Formus Communications -- were also in line for high-tech wireless licences.

Two shortlisted companies, British Telecom (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: BT.L) and Ocean, a joint venture between BT and Ireland's Electricity Supply Board, had
failed to secure licences, the Irish Times said.
