Novices, Technicians and Technician Pluses will all have the same priviliges 
below 30 MHz:

3525 - 3600 kHz CW only
7025 - 7125 kHz CW only
21025 - 21200 kHz CW only
28000 - 28300 kHz CW only
28300 - 28500 kHz CW and SSB only

No other modes below 30 MHz are authorized for Novices, Technicians or Tech 
Pluses under the new rules. 

If a Novice, Tech or Tech plus wants more, all s/he needs to do now to get 
lots more priviliges is to pass the 35 question General written test. For full 
amateur privileges, 
they need to also pass the 50 question Extra written test.

Simple, isn't it?
