My alternative idea:

Sell of the spectrum, use those funds (and probably some extra government funds) to blanket the country in fibre optics. If we can supply a home with running water and electricity, we can supply it with Fibre. One large initial cost, covered mostly by the spectrum itself, but the end result is almost unlimited bandwidth into every home without satellites. Throw in a bit of multi casting and there's no reason why every channel couldn't be in 4k (or better) and there's no limit in channels.

The various providers and ISPs can use the public network much like energy companies do today, they all pay in to maintain it and everyone gets a gigabit capable line.

It's a crazy idea, it'll likely never happen, but I don't think it's a bad idea.
