Talk:CB usage in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] confusion in Regulation and Enforcement section

"Actions against violations of FCC regulations have been minimal in the past..."

"In recent years, the FCC has had a renewed interest in taking enforcement actions against freebanding..."

"Todays actions of illegal CBer's are usually not cared about by the FCC."

"Many actions have been taken in recent years against the so-called freebanders operating illegally"

all of this will be difficult to source, but the wording of it is confusing to me. i have always been under the impression that fcc enforcement was heavier in the past, when the fcc actually had field agents dedicated to collecting information against offending cber's. i place this date late 60's to late 70's in my own mind, when the cber population exploded in size.

this was followed by (in my mind) a lack of any enforcement on the cb band, followed by in early 2000-present (or so) the notice of apparent liability letters sent primarily to retailers of export radios.
