Won't they have a bunch of bandwidth next february
when all the analog TV broadcasting goes dark? Then
they could choose a band that is even better at "building
penetration", etc.

I thought that they where going to auction all that new found spectrum
to the likes of Google and Sprint to be used for nationwide data/voice
services. I don't recall if they where going to slice out any for
other service types but here's hoping they do. Seems like a small
slice dedicated to this kind of thing might be useful.

I can imagine that with all the hoopla between the primary spectrum
user on 440 and the ham repeaters in the east and west that this might
not fly with the FCC. Can you imagine the possible interference this
might cause with the Air Force?
