Spectrum Bridge sets up spectrum market

InformationWeek, we hear of a company called Spectrum Bridge. They’re a secondary market which sets up buyers and sellers of spectrum. The first thing that came to mind is that a potential new entrant could use the listings to buy up enough spectrum to create at least a regional network. This, however, seems unlikely on second and third thought. More likely, it’s going to be an outlet for smaller spectrum holders to sell their stake at a premium to the already spectrum-rich carriers. You never know, though. Maybe Leap Wireless can find a new market through this system. Maybe the big companies have some extra spectrum which might be of use to a smaller company. It’s not likely, but it’s not impossible, either. It’ll be interested to see how well spectrum buyers and sellers take to Spectrum Bridge.]]>
