It would be great if they actually enforced it, because as it is, GMRS is as bad as CB was at it's worst in populated areas: just constant streams of loudmouths (aforementioned drunken idiots) endlessly holding the PTT button and singing profanity.
If it was aggressively enforced*, that $85 (for 5 years, for a family) would keep the band usable.
But, instead, they will likely just eliminate the fee, as proposed.
