    This is not only a technological and economic concern, but a matter of public safety and hence, national security.

    Public safety systems across the US rely on wireless bandwidth. Services cannot grow and be integrated without sufficient available bandwidth; often times, decisions to implement particular public safety features rest on the availability of wireless bandwidth in this range. It's simple math - less available bandwidth means less public safety.

    A vote FOR this bill is a vote FOR progress, economic revitalization, national security, and innovation.

    My concern is that licensed, not for profit users of RF spectrum, as Amateur Radio operators are, will be left standing in a whirlwind of dust with this bill. Going by what uses/users where mentioned in the post, Vs. those who weren't, is easy for me to be cynical. Concluding it'd about who gets to profit from the use of a shared resource and how much.

    http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/LRSP/LRSP0.htm appears to be a partial "map" http://www.fcc.gov/oet/info/database/spectrum/ is another you'll have to download a pdf file. I believe the plan is to go beyond simple spectrum maps. As in determining if there are actually an RF transmissions, and arbitrarily deciding if the transmissions are worthwhile. I seem to want to recall a space shuttle mission task was to listen to the RF spectrum to determine how much activity was where.
