So...ballpark the number of Amatuers at 650K...At $75/license
that is over $48M a year for the General Treasury coffers.
No it isn't, because the 650K would dwindle within a decade to somewhere
around 20K if a 10-year license renewal cost $750.00.
Then, with only 20K licensed amateurs the service would be folded up as
a poor reason to occupy the valuable spectrum it holds.
Bingo, Hans. Game, set, match.
Hardly, Jim.
Most of the allocations we enjoy are international allocations...not
domestic ones.
And I hardly think that even if our numbers fell by half that we'd lose
any significant part of our allocations...Not any more than what we stand to
lose right now anyway.
