. . . Maybe it's the result of the ARRLs

I see something a bit less nefarious. I think the FCC made a decision
without thinking it through--perhaps pushed to do so by the ARRL call
for action to be taken.
That's another possibility. By whatever means it happened this one
seems to have a "quality control problem" . . . strange . .
What will be interesting is to see if the
Commission corrects its action or simply attempts to justify it.
Or they just publish and go do something else. I don't remember them
ever doing a post-publishing "explanation". Then comes the fact that
this flap is about a slice of currently very underutilized spectrum
space. Which is to say it really doesn't much matter how it gets
"refarmed".
You're certainly correct that there seems to have been almost no raising
of the alarm by General Class licensees.
If I was a General I certainly wouldn't complain about getting access
to 3800-3850. Which *does* matter.
