Well, I wouldn't expect anyone buying spectrum to then give away what they put on it. They are, however, "giving us" (the U.S. taxpayers) the money they pay for the spectrum.

RF spectrum sales and band re-allocation are an entirely different issue from the change to digital TV. Digital TV need have nothing to do with making money from spectrum sales, but if we can have more TV channel choices (which we do/will) and make money from sales of now-available frequencies (and there is a "market-based" plan if I ever saw one), then I see that as a good thing.
