A chunk is being turned over to police and fire departments Where it can be used for things like automated reporting of parking meter violations. Not all law enforcement is for public safety.

All this digital spectrum also creates the strong likelihood of the equivalent of “Cookies” to be set to track your every use of the TV Remote.
It could easily be buried in a thick instruction book so that the mere use of the system constitutes permission, no further permission or notices necessary.
A concept to be explored: Leaving the legacy analog spectrum and equipment alone as an insurance policy on our First Amendment. (How retro can one get?)
