A valid comparison can not be reached when you present an intangible vs

The fact that you refuse to view radio

Nope, it certainly isn't. But the fact that you do not understand the
definition of "tangible" certainly is your problem.

You asked for it. Pay particular attention to definition #3:


tan·gi·ble ( P ) Pronunciation Key (tnj-bl)
adj.

1 a. Discernible by the touch; palpable: a tangible roughness of the
skin.
b. Possible to touch.
c. Possible to be treated as fact; real or concrete: tangible
evidence.
2. Possible to understand or realize: the tangible benefits of the
plan.
3. Law. That can be valued monetarily: tangible property.


Is not the RF spectrum given a monetary value by virtue of the FCC
auctioning it off to the highest commercial bidders?

That makes it a tangible asset. No different than a piece of property.
