I don't have a problem with the idea of mandating in favor of some
digital modes at the expense of others. But the mandated modes should
be non-proprietary. Spectrum is not the property of any particular
vendor.

I think you missed the point.

WinLink2K depends on connectivity to the internet to work.
For emergency communication it is totally useless.

If the internet were available, one would simple USE it
in the normal manner. If it is not available, WinLink2K
is of no help to you at all. The whole concept is a scam.
