That sounds like an implementation of a 100% LV tax on radio frequencies.

It's public ownership + periodically auctioned leases, so it's hard to calculate a LV rate equivalent. The closest arrangement I can think of with respect to land would be Chinese real estate, where "title" is legally a 99-year lease from the government.
