How many licenses was ARTT recently granted? First, this was simply about the value of the licenses granted, which you will note did not increase BofA's DCF target price for WCII. Second, the perceived ability of a company to buildout those licenses is a consideration. Third, I'm sure BofA wouldn't have a problem considering ARTT's spectrum, IF they followed them.
