Does this mean that broadcasters that do not give up spectrum in

spectrum?
If you give up "your" spectrum you get some money...
If you keep using the spectrum you pay for it.
Kinda like "Bait and Stick"
Spectrum fees have been proposed almost every year for the last
decade, but they never get any traction in Congress.
But the times they are a chang'n
From here it looks like a giant FLUX CAPACITOR from Back to The
Future 2012. Lot's of industries trying to influence the future - and
a clueless bureaucracy trying to sort it all out.
Did someone just say "Spectrum Utility?"
