Yes it's true. The final report of WRC 2003 is he-

Easy there fellas...The TREATY requirement may be negated, but we
are still under FCC regulation...let's give them a day or two to see
how they are going to handle this.
I think the FCC's hands are tied until the treaty is ratified. Then all it
should take is what I remember being called an "Executive Order" dumping
Element 1.
It could be as simple as 'Effective (fill in date here), completion of
Element
1 is waived as a license requirement". One sentence.
I think the FCC will, at minimum update, Part 97 for the WRC 2003 changes.
They could do it with a "Memorandum Opinion & Order", or update Part 97
and restructure frequency allocation with a Notice of Proposed Rule Making.
This should be a hot topic at the VEC conference held at the end of July.
I would not expect much action until August. But that just a guess.
