Your prescription for doing away with spectrum sharing is totally in conflict with the amateur radio paradigm of shared spectrum/no owns a frequency. It will result in the balkanization of the spectrum as competing modes/protocols/services all ask for their piece of the spectrum. You will destroy experimentation because new types of communication will not have "assigned" spectrum to use. Once you set a precedent that amateur spectrum can be "assigned" to a specific use, you open the doors for everyone to claim their piece of the pie. Just exactly how would you propose to deal with this?
You might also elucidate a little on how you would share this "traffic automation" spectrum between winlink, ntsd, packet, pskmail, ALE, and other "services" that will come along. Perhaps you feel "your" little niche should also be declared a primary user and all other modes/services should have to give way when you are ready to begin transmission. I suspect that if you have time sensitive traffic to send and since you have already declared that waiting is upsetting, you will not be satisfied with waiting for a pskmail or packet session to complete either.
