In Feb 2009, all TVs will become digital. As a result, analog TV
spectrum will become available.

It will be auctioned off. Chances are it will go to big companies,
making their monopoly even bigger. These frequencies would be better
used if it went to amateur radio, public non-license radio ( like FRS
and CB is now), and small business (such as letting small business
offer commercial radio services).

Alot of innovative applications will result. And it will create jobs
and new businesses that would otherwise not exist. Also, it would
increase public interest and involvement.

If we do nothing, these frequencies will be lost. Lets lobby now.

You're about 4 years too late. The original date for the analog broadcast
TV shutdown was in 2006 - so the auctions were actually held before then.
However, Congress extended the date because few people even knew of it.
