That sounds like it could be a good idea depending on
how the technology is rolled out to the public.

	Present CB suffers from the same problems that effected
television and two-way radio. The frequencies were all allocated
as a compromise between what worked best electronically in 1945
versus what we wanted to accomplish.

	At the end of World War II, tubes that worked well above
50 MHZ certainly existed but they didn't work nearly as well as
they did on lower frequencies.

	Television and two-way radio services were allocated
frequencies that were as low as technically possible which meant
they were susceptible to all the quirks of nature such as
ionospheric skip of several kinds as well as interference from
power lines and electric motors, etc.

	The CB users were told not to talk more than 150 miles
if they heard signals from far off which were probably louder
than who they were trying to hear.

	They were told not to run more than 5 watts while the
technology to amplify their signal was just a store purchase
away.

	There is an old saying that locks are there to keep
honest people honest and I believe that that more or less applies to technology,
 also.

	If you make it work well and also make it complicated
enough, the casual mischief-maker will concentrate on other
areas of amusement and the system will continue to work for most
users.

	CB today is virtually useless compared to what it could
be if not for the ease of abuse and Mother Nature's
unpredictable fits.
