Yup, that's why the 700mhz spectrum last year was so prized. Several hurdles to go through before we see 600mhz though, won't be happening soon.
It'll be interesting to see what Wind does. Would they use new spectrum and repurpose it for LTE, or build and improve their current network.

Moore said he has a goal of having new entrants to the wireless market control about 25 per cent of spectrum by the end of 2015. Currently they control about 16 per cent of spectrum.
Other plans announced today:
Canada will work with the U.S. to relocate over-the-air television to free up the low-frequency 600 MHz spectrum for wireless.
A new licensing option will be offered for spectrum in the 3500 MHz band that remains unused. This band has traditionally been designated for fixed-wireless internet service.
A new competitor will be chosen to operate a satellite and a land-based network in the AWS-4 spectrum.
A new consistent licensing process will be developed for spectrum in the 24, 28 and 38 GHz bands, which are used to support mobile broadband traffic and broadband access for businesses.
Additional 2100 MHz spectrum will be made available to support wireless infrastructure
