No, they want to eliminate all exceptions to the carrier license, so 
everyone will have to buy a $10,000 license.  Then they want the govt 
to budget money to buy licenses (from themselves) for community 
groups like us.  And I can really see that funding continuing past 
year one if it was ever brought in.
