Re: Hell hath frozen over ...

Hams are licensed and tend to respect it. Not a good example for you.

CB is a mess. FRS has very limited range.

Consumer WiFi has such limited range that it's not much of an issue unless you're in an apartment building. In that case it's a free-for-all. WISPs tend to use highly directional antennas. People attempt to modify equipment and add amplifiers to get past the interference. This is not 'equilibrium' unless you think barely functional systems are a good thing.

You give the mass market anything that can transmit more than a few hundred feet and you've got RF anarchy.
