100% another fucking bullshit move to help grift more money. I guarantee a few things will happen:

1. Suddenly all bands will be wildly more “useful” and “valued” at exorbitant prices which will then be used to extort money from terrestrial broadcasters and wireless carriers (guarantee Musk was involved in this)
2. This will somehow play into the authoritarian moves to try and justify pulling broadcast licenses from unfriendly broadcasters (they’ve threatened this before and it’s not currently possible)
3. The free spectrums that currently exist will no longer be free. This is an attempt to squash HAM operators, S2T gateways, and more emergent use of of free spectrums for long range communications (Lora et al in the Sub-1G spectrum)

They’re trying to squash a free press and a militaristic uprising I bet. There’s a lot more insidious bullshit happening here than people may realize.
