kind of. Companies will be able to buy a license to use them for whatever, but the government would still own it. We're supposed to go all HD for 2009. There's a actually a lot of companies that to bid for the spectrum, including sprint, verizon, at&t, google and even apple. And they all just want to use it to provide phone service, even apple i think.
