No one is stopping you from trying to raise that money and buy it. In that sense, it is available. By your logic, BMWs aren't exactly available to everyone either because they don't have the cash on hand.
Freedom to buy doesn't have a thing to do with your means.
Oh, I agree with you. Nobody is stopping anyone from pulling together that cash and making a bid.
But the words 'reasonable charges' appear in that mandate too. Reasonable charges for the consumer using those communication services? That's probably the intent. But those charges might be a bit more 'reasonable' if the service providers didn't pay so much for their spots in the spectrum.
