Hello Dale, Spectrum value in the licensed bands may become affected adversely, at first, by the license-free spectrum that is gaining in favor at this time, for obvious reasons. I say "at first," because as license free spectrum opens up the field by reducing the barriers to entry, overall interest in wireless, and a commensurate level of implementation, will climb. At some point - whether for reasons that are real or imagined - it's conceivable that spectrum that is perceived to be reliable may be acquirable only through the acquisition of swaths that exist on licensed bands. Exactly what this would mean in terms of absolute valuation, I'd have no way of knowing. Maybe one of the wireless mavens who frequent this forum can answer your question a little more intelligently than I. FAC
