NextNav has a petition before the FCC proposing to reconfigure the use

The section "Identification and Protection of Incumbents" requests:

    What services are being provided by part 15 devices and amateur
    operations in this band? Can they be accommodated in other spectrum
    bands? What are the costs for relocation and how long would it take?
    We also seek comment on the status of any outreach with part 15
    device users and amateur licensees.

I'm only a prospective operator on 33 cm for now, but others here may 
have the expertise to make an informed comment about investments in 
operating on this band and potential impacts of regulatory mandates 
imposed on amateur operators on the band due to this petition. From my 
limited knowledge of operating practice, I would assume transverter 
tuning limitations and repeater splits would be principal challenges.
