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,

This spectrum has already been sold. Except for the 24MHz worth that's
being reserved for public-safety communications.

Some of the new uses have already been implemented. For example,
Verizon's "V-Cast" (video broadcasts to mobile phones) uses the spectrum
formerly occupied by TV channel 55. A number of TV stations have already
closed their analog operations on this channel and adjacent channel 56.
