There is a new article as of today on the ARRL site that also predicts about
two years. They also are of the opinion that the FCC will take no action on
its own but will only respond to petitions for changes. If that's indeed
the case, then someone has to file a petition, then there has to be time for
comments and related petitions, then the FCC needs to review it all and file
a NPRM and allow time for comments on that and so on.

Wouldn't it be ironic if nobody filed a petition because everybody
thought someone else was already doing it? You know, kinda like when
the band's open but nobody knows it because they're all sitting there
listening for somebody else to call CQ?

The other thing that occurs to me is, you could basically take the
database of comments filed during the inquiry that preceded the last
restructuring, stamp a new docket number on it, and get it over with.
We've all been through this before in excruciating detail.
