Amateur Radio is "defined" by the FCC as a service. For many people, ham
radio is a hobby and nothing more. For many others, it is a hobby and a
service and they get involved with those areas of ham radio that are a
service to others. There is no requirement from the FCC that people must
conduct a service in the hobby of amateur radio.

CB is a service also. "Service" is simply a definition; moreover, a
justification for the availability of frequencies to us "commoners." It
distinguishes commercial use vs. hobby/personal use.
