System and method for generating spectrum rights offerings

Abstract

A system and methods are provided by which a spectrum holder may employ a graphical user interface to generate a spectrum rights offering. A holder may begin by selecting spectrum from which spectrum rights are to be offered. The holder may specify at least one partitioning parameter to partition the selected spectrum by geographic unit, such as county, zip code, etc. The spectrum holder may then identify an offering area by selecting one or more geographic areas corresponding to the geographic unit of the partitioning parameter. The spectrum holder may define various details or parameters for the offering, such as, for example, offering type, applicable dates associated with the offering, and usage restrictions. After the offering details are defined, the holder may price the offering based on a variety of pricing options, such as a set price, price per population, price per area, price per megahertz, and others.
