Don't hold your breath.  There is, and still will be, TV broadcast
operations in that band, and even if TV is "evicted" the common-carrier
type data providers will have "first dibs".  The only reason that hams
in R-1
have it is that TV there went elsewhere with the advent of DTV.  Not so
in the US where every little burg wants its own TV translator or
low-power station.  (My own personal opinion, not that of the SBE)
