All the spectrum needs to be licensed by the FCC.
The 10Ghz band is not used for LMDS in the US.

The LMDS bands in the US:

24GHz: only holder is TGNT

28-30GHz: largest license holdings belong to
NXLK

38Ghz: WCII has the most licenses, with ARTT and
T holding some. ARTT has actually a very large
footprint.

39Ghz: forthcoming FCC auction for 16 licenses
of 100 MHz each in all markets, which means
that 1.6Ghz of bandwidth will be auctioned off in
each market. Because licenses are sold in small
100 Mhz slices, winners will need to do some
spectrum aggregation. By comparison the LMDS A block
at 28-30 Ghz represented a single license for 1.15GHz
of BW.

Note that there is still a lot of unassigned spectrum at
or beyond 40Ghz. If I remember correctly the blimpmobiles
of Al Haig's Skystation were allocated some BW at 48Ghz
on an experimental basis.
