Since it will be an incentive auction, nobody knows how
much spectrum will be reclaimed. The target is 120 MHz,
but most consider that to be very optimistic.

However, whatever spectrum is reclaimed, it will be
from the top (channel 51) and down. If the whole 120 MHz
happens, then channels 32 through 51 will be reallocated.
Channel 37 will most likely be protected geographically
(there aren't that many radio telescopes using that
frequency).

Channel 37 is briefly mentioned here in the actual law.

Can anyone easily point me to the proposed frequency allocations if the FCC compresses the TV service for the Broadband initiative?
