You are right, but for the wrong reasons. Twenty years ago, the FCC was 
avoiding new technologies. Now they accept that we don't live in an isolated world, 
and we have to keep up and even lead the telecom revolution. It's not the 
commercial interests that are leading this, but the needs of the citizenry.

For example: SDR (software radio) is another hot topic before the FCC. Here, 
large swaths of spectrum are expected to coexist with licensed services (aka 
commercial interests)--as long as they don't interfere with those services, 
which are mostly fixed sites. 'Don't interfere' : We are hearing the same thing 
with BPL. Seems like a consistent story:-)
