The FCC said nothing. The industry could have had a separate band but 
did not want it. This is now XM and Sirius (talk about shooting one's 
self in the foot). They should have filled up the band just to prevent 
competition.

We have in band because the industry wanted and developed the early part 
of it themselves.
