Who it is for
A team with weeks rather than months before an auction, and a board that wants a number.
What is in it
- Five sections: the comparables, the depth you need, what the band does not buy you, who else is in the room, and the walk-away
- The public US benchmark table as at 17 September 2026
- A worked example: 20 MHz of mid-band across a 4.7 million footprint, costed against the real comparables
- What to put in front of a board, and when
