More than ever, I am convinced that amateur radio will die out. It can't be long before many PTTs tire of amateur radio as it ties up people and generates no revenue.
I can see the day coming when CB and amateur radio merge and callsigns are allocated (if at all) by national societies. It would not surprise me if all non-licenced things are merged at the same time e.g. ISM. The golden rule is no harmful interference must be caused and any interference accepted.
Personally, I am not bothered as long as I can continue experimenting.
Fewer and fewer "amateur" radio operators know how their rigs work and even fewer actually experiment i.e. they are much like CB operators.

Not to forget that there are a lot of talented CB operators around. Due to circumstances they never made it to HAMradio. I've predicted that CB from 26-30MHz all mode will be free in the future. I actually expected it would already be a fact. But I guess it will takje another few decades. 73, Bas
