Advanced cellular telephones, portable facsimile machines, and many other methods of wireless communication are based upon broadband PCS. See id. at p 18. Recognizing the commercial and technological potential of broadband PCS, the Commission reserved 120 MHz of spectrum for provision of these services. See 47 C.F.R. § 24.200. Before a party may use the spectrum to provide broadband PCS, it must get a license from the Commission. See 47 U.S.C. § 301. In 1993 the Congress directed the Commission to choose between mutually exclusive applications for a li-cense through a system of competitive bidding, see 47 U.S.C. § 309(j)(1); 47 C.F.R. § 24.701; the Commission has since held
