Ah, yes, I see. The hams have VOLUNTARILY sorted out where to
transmit. In other words, a regulation wasn't needed. What a

But would U.S. phone ops VOLUNTARILY stay up the bands and out of the
segments historically inhabited by the CW and digital users if they
were not restrained from doing so?
Not in our lifetimes.

includes large swathes of phone spectrum where we aren't allowed to go by
the current FCC rules. Voluntary means we get to choose the bandplan, and=

would choose IARU Region 2, not ARRL.
I plead ignorance of the IARU bandplans. Do you have a link to 'em??
Even without seeing them yet I like the concept.=20
