I believe that regulatory bodies should be made aware of the fact how
many people want to use this technology. And from interference
perspective there is no difference between operating without even
trying to apply for a license and operating when you've been denied.
So the level of interference won't increase. OTOH, if you're granted a
license with the limited set of ARFCNs, the level of interference will
decrease. And hopefully regulatory body will learn how to allocate
test licenses quickly and efficiently. Thus I don't see how situation
could become worse.
