I like this opinion. When they move corporate radio to DAB+ or whatever I'd love to see the FM band or part of it become available to special user groups. Of course with a centralized planning authority and certified equipment. Shouldn't be a huge deal, it would be similar to CB, just a bit more regulated.

This way this band and its ubiquitous receivers would still be very useful.

The only reason governments are pushing DAB/+, so they can sell off the FM bands to corporations. Don't expect those to remain empty to amateurs.

I doubt that's very feasible though. There's so much equipment around for this band. The same way with the 27Mhz CB band. If they ever sell it it will be swamped with interference by people still using their old radios.
