Default Tech Tech Plus or vice versa?

Saw the FCC press release, merging the Tech and Tech+ licenses. I just
want
to make sure that when the FCC says:

"With today's elimination of the Morse code exam requirements, the FCC
concluded that the disparity between the operating privileges of
Technician
Class licensees and Technician Plus Class licensees should not be
retained.
Therefore, the FCC, in today's action, afforded Technician and Technician
Plus licensees identical operating privileges."

This means that Techs now have Tech+ privileges, not vice versa right?


We'll have to wait and see the actual text of the Report and Order but I do
believe that is exactly what is intended. Techs will have to wait until 30
days after the R&O is published in the Federal Register to use those
privileges.
