Well ham radio operation, in the USA at least, requires a license. Are you proposing that everyone get ham-radio-licensed as a prerequisite to participating in the new economy?

You also can't use it for anything you have a "pecuniary interest" in. Most agree that means any commercial transactions are not allowed (with the exception of selling radio equipment to other ham radio licensees).
Also, encryption is illegal over packet radio.
