Precisely why FCC needs to expand PRB-1 to INCLUDE all communications 
services it licenses, not just ham radio.....

FCC can stop this nonsense, immediately, if it wants.  I don't think the 
sellphone carriers WANT it stopped, or it would have already been done.  I 
think the sellphone carriers are looking for a SCAPEGOAT to blame their 
lack of system expansion to fill in the holes in their coverage in less-
than-stellar-profitable areas under their license.  FCC can stop all that, 
too!  It's called "Proof of Performance" and any broadcast engineer can 
tell you how expensive THAT can get if his boss tries to turn down the 
power to save the company a few bucks in light bill on the big transmitter.

FCC can put a stop to BOTH these problems, as soon as the bribery 
prosecutions of government officials who've been sucking at the tit of the 
CTIA for all these years get hung.
