Go here: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/allochrt.pdf Look between 5 and 50 MHz. The green areas are ham radio. There is broadcasting, maritime mobile, radiolocation...ham radio is a SMALL part of a huge resource that can be destroyed, just so people can download their porn a little faster.
Oh. and you can go back to setting your clocks by hand. Atomic clocks use those frequencies too.
Did you even bother to find out why encryption, music, and commercial traffic are forbidden?
I am honestly tired of hearing the traditions of a 100+ year old art and the defense of them called "crap."
Here is more "crap" for you.
Commercial interests don't want hams broadcasting music. Hobbyists dropped out of broadcasting by the thirties. If you want to do it now, you can buy a 100 mw Part 15 kit from ramsey electronics to wow your neighborhood with your Britney Spears collection.
So far, no one has come up with a case for encryption of ham radio traffic that SERVES THE PUBLIC INTEREST. Downloading your e-mail is not in the Basis and Purpose of amateur radio.
If you don't like the rules, come up with a way to change them. Anyone can petition for new rules. FCC just denied another petition to allow broadcasting. Otherwise, sell your books and equipment on Ebay and get out of the way.
I'd rather see the hobby die than be populated by whiners.

So, Greg Sullivan says, ""We don't have data that suggests Windows XP drops wireless connections more than any other system."
Reminds me of Tom Peters (child of the 80s) rant on a company saying, "We're no worse than anyone else." What a great motto to put over the door!
In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking the FCC says that BPL is being deployed worldwide, but I don't see any mention of the study in the UK citing interference, or the incident in Austria that caused them to cut their study short.
