The way I read that is they're recognizing that we are not a "service" provided by the government or by commerce. We provide services, as do any volunteers, but we are not a formally organized & managed service provider system. Does that make sense?

Kurt,
 
Not home right now but here is a snippet of the FCC notice I sent to the RFI group. See the note in parenthesis:

I doubt the FCC will do much to mitigate noise is the MF and HF spectrum unless it affects commercial, utility or government services which are abandoning this spectrum except as a backup. In the announcement announcing the Amateur Radio Application the FCC stated "As we have noted previously, '[W]hile the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial communications service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications, is one of the underlying principles of the amateur service, the amateur service is not an emergency radio service.'"
