I did read through the document, but it is very lengthy of course, and I guess I missed parts of it. I thought they are proposing to extend the licensing period from 5 years on GMRS to 10 years to align it with other licensed services such as amateur radio. Did I just totally misread it, and can you provide an excerpt from the document that includes your concerns, so I might be able to comment in a more intelligent manner.
