Is that even necessary? We tolerate it now, but there was a Free For All period in the past. I wonder if the market would solve spectrum allocation better - OR in areas where every frequency sounds like an annoying CB radio channel, people would do something more productive like read a book. The case is stronger for emergency spectrum reservations and ATC. That can also be done at the state level with interstate agreements. Feds don't need to be involved.
The free-for-all ended in 1912 with the Radio Act. It didn't survive until the first commercial radio station, let alone today where two-way wireless channels are ubiquitous.
