  Several decades of experience in both Federal and non-Federal
  spectrum management have taught me that one should never bet on
  something like that happening. Both the government and
  non-government users were firmly entrenched in that band long
  before 9/11 and no one in their right mind gives spectrum back.
  The Los Angeles Police Department had allocations at 1730 and
  2466 kHz and finally released it twenty-plus years after they
  stopped using it for anything substantial.
