Oh yes These folks will listen to the "Communications dealers" make a plan to rip off more from the little people. I expect to see whole swaths of Ham radio spectrums taken over and many new ways for the great companies [as well as our great leaders] profit more.
The actual dealers have little power or authority.
Manufacturers, and network operators, on the other hand, do, and billions of dollars are thrown at lobbying Congress all the way down to local governments in order to grease the wheel, so to speak.
As a ham of 34 years, I can say that there are only a couple of things saving amateur radio:
1) We tend to be older, vote with a sense of duty (not always for the right thing, but hey...), and not afraid to contact our Congressional Representatives - respectfully, but repetitively - when they come up with a real boner of an idea;
2) Ham radio is secondary in most places. We stand in the shadow of our big brothers, the plenary authority of the ITU as it administers spectrum usage for Region II of the world (although the US can modify the plan to an extent), the DOD and NTIA (no one wants broadband that goes away during Fleet Week);
3) Sometimes our spectrum is junk. Much of it is shared with industrial, scientific, and medical devices which are broadband noise emitters. You can't reliably surf the net when the heater in the Nacho Grande machine is using the same frequency band to toast tacos.
We're walking on razor blades as long as those are the thin lines that protect amateur radio.
I wish that this be settled once and for all. Hear me out because this is radical: take amateur radio away from the FCC. Declare it primary on various HF, VHF, UHF, and microwave bands. Give amateur radio to the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (this takes it away from Congress, the DOI is an Executive branch agency). Declare amateur radio to be a virtual national park of preserved spectrum which cannot be encroached upon. Have the NPS license amateur operators in cooperation with the NTIA (another Executive branch agency). After all, you can get a permit or license to camp or fish in a national park, you can get a license to use your radio in the national spectrum park. Aside from that, the best thing a ham can do is be respectful and engaged, and keep his or her hobby relevant.
You all don't know how many snatch and grab attempts there have been on spectrum just in the last year - at times by fellow hams who probably should be drummed out like the opening theme in Branded, and its not going to stop.
