The real problem right now is not expanding our SSB segments, but rather that expansion forcing other countries SSB even lower. Canadian, Mexican, and Central American SSB stations are already far, far down in the lower parts of 80m and 40m. So far in fact that sometimes it is hard to have CW or PSK qso's. How many more will show up if our SSB segments expand. Sometimes we forget we are not the only hams in the world.
Regardless of what is officially said, hams in other countries are allowed to operate this low for only one reason, to avoid qrm from US SSB stations. They will continue to do, making it harder and harder for both CW and the narrow digital modes.
