Wireless spectrum assignment can only be done by the government, for the betterment of the people in the country. The government should be well compensated for that limited resource and should apply those funds for the betterment of the people who own that spectrum and allow it to be put to private use. I don't know how insanely libertarian you have to be to think that there isn't a single governmental function that should exist and be funded with these fees. Defense? Border Security? Science Research Funding? Lowering price of admission for the Smithsonian? Library of Congress? Space Travel? Reduced Taxes on individuals? Surely, there must be something that you think the government should do, and maybe these fees can fund that?

We can disagree on how these fees should be spent, but surely they can be put to a good use for all of us.
