I know hindsight is 20/20, but I'll bet some of those EBS license
holders wish they could undo their lease to Sprint and actually use it
for distance learning like it was originally for.

From my understanding, the educational entities had to have requested
and been assigned a license back when the FCC was issuing them. If
they don't currently have a license they're out of luck, as the band
is being repurposed for commercial use.

That's what I'm concerned about. The window is thin to get into
it. I know zero about it. Given the current state of affairs, it
would be ideal for that auction to halt. We are positioned to
partner with districts today and solve any remaining gaps in rural
education connectivity. It's going to pop up come the 2020/2021
school year. In a perfect world, EBS would move to a reserved
public/private partnership state. Not a lease for pay state. ie
it's only available to school districts or ISPs willing to
prioritize education connections in exchange for access to that
districts lease.
Speaking of that. Are districts default entitled to x mhz? How
does that work. We have two districts in my town. Do each get some
or do they share and have to agree to sale/lease?

Keep in mind that this band will be auctioned in the coming
months. School districts are selling their EBS licenses pretty
regularly since the band can legally be owned by commercial
entities now. They’re charging a premium for licenses and leases.
Comsearch can generate interactive maps showing the percentage
each block’s availability in each county of interest.

If a guy wanted to find out what spectrum is available to
a school district, where would the guy start to look? I
assume ULS, but I wouldnt know where to begin even
