Right now a large portion of the wireless spectrum is reserved for traditional radio and television broadcasting (yep rabbit ears and giant antennas). The government gave these to television stations, years ago, for free so that 100% of Americans would have access of the broadcasts.
But now times have changed and the way people receive information has progressed as well. Less than 10% of Americans are watching the television broadcasts over the air for free. Most opt to pay for their television entertainment needs. So this HUGE chunk of airspace is essentially being wasted.
