'Bandplan? We don't need no steenkin' bandplan!'

I think bandplans are great, Jim. A bandplan is a dynamic construct,
generally agreed by the band users, which adapts to "market forces".

But FCC doesn't hand out dynamic bandplans; they hand out static
band-mandates which tend to remain unchanged for multiple decades (a
geologic age in a hobby which is charged by regulation to "contribute to
the advancement of the radio art").

The FCC hands out whatever will cover their own ass. Meaning,
top priority at the commission is job preservation, not the advancement
of communciations. FCC bureaucrats do whatever is necessary to
preserve their paycheck, while continually hiding the fact that the
commission is a dinosaur in an advanced age.
