I don't know enough about this issue to have an opinion either way, but it 
should be pointed out that the spectrum would be taken from a section
already allocated to other uses, and that in some cases existing users of
this bandwidth would be kicked off to allow this use.  I believe the existing
use is limited distance microwave communications (point-to-point between
buildings).  Therefore the issue is not as clear-cut as the Apple request
would make it appear.  The real question is which use of a limited resource
will provide the greater overall benefit to society?  I don't know the answer.
