Already been done. The first restriction was when they gave away the area
between 800 and 890 MHz. The second was when they sold 700-800 MHz.

700-800 MHz corresponds to channels 52-69, which sounds like what I
remember. However, that range is still in use for TV. The NBC station
here is broadcasting on channel 56. The digital version of that is on
channel 22, well outside that range.
