I am weak on my spectrum knowledge but I understand its critical importance when it come to wireless broadband. Mobile operators are moving quickly and adopting HSPA+, LTE and LTE Advanced. These radio interfaces are lynch pins. This is especially true since Cisco's VNI study reports -- "Globally, mobile data traffic will double every year through 2014, increasing 39 times between 2009 and 2014."

Wasn't a lot of this spectrum dedicated to mobile voice and data using satellites in low earth orbit? There's already a lot of hardware "up there" dedicated to using chunks of this spectrum, Iridium probably being the most famous example. I think the DOD is biggest and maybe the only Iridium user these days, obviously for tasks that can't be done with terrestrial hardware. It's hard to see where this will go.
