additionally, VHF repeaters generally are horizon + 10% sort of range, and there is a committee to help with frequency allocations to avoid interference between systems that are close together. So really, the "slice of the band" is regional, the same way (broadcast) FM stations are.
Repeaters which are open for use by anyone with a license are called "open" repeaters and those which have some kind of requirement or permission are called "closed." Closed repeaters are actually pretty rare these days, most repeater owners are more than happy to have anyone use their repeater as long as they are not intentionally being a nuisance.
