Reading through it now... major change that will affect many of us is the change to 12.5KHz (i.e. half channels) in UHF CB.

The general encouragement of government agencies to work on Government Radio Network like projects may finally kill off the ability for us to listen to the few govt. agencies that will still can :-(

Interesting to note that the intention is for 25kHz CB to be reviewed after 5 years so you don't need to junk them just yet.
