The thing is, as has been brought forward before, that the FM and VHF
low
bands are not amenable to use by the people who are looking for those
high-bucks bands.. the necessary antennas are simply too large to use
for
portable devices such as cellular or wireless internet services (yes,
there
are indeed small FM radios with little or no antenna, but these are
grossly
inefficient and require a very high signal level to work.. nor do they
have
to transmit, which would require a minimum 1/4 wave antenna (~30" @
90MHz))
Yeah, let's wait 'till the VHF low band gets filled up before we
conclude there's a shortage of VHF bandwidth.
