Don't think this will be the last amateur band to be privatized either.

Commercial entities and the politicians they have in their pockets will keep asking and getting more and more.

The next band to be targeted is 3450 to 3550 MHz (of which, 3450 to 3500 MHz is allocated to Amateur Radio).

I never like to see Amateur Radio lose spectrum. But if I'm not mistaken 3300-3500 MHz is currently allocated to Amateur Radio. So this would still leave hams with 3300-3450 MHz.

That's correct. It would not be a complete loss. More like when 1215 to 1240 MHz and 2310 to 2390 MHz was lost after WARC-79.

Except for the fact that Channel 1 bleeds into almost all of the amateur 2ghz band. The center frequency puts the left side of the channel into our band and has made it a mess.

For those interested in how these frequencies are used by HAMs check out http://www.arednmesh.org. We hack routers and wifi point to point links to operate on those frequencies to build out large mesh networks.
