Mal,
The maritime industry trade group has been pushing back against
hams on 500kHz in the hope that they can persuade governments to fund
a new relatively broadband data service there.
The maritime group has standing with CEPT and the ITU and they
apparently have money and effective lobbyists behind them, the hams on
the other hand are left to pick up scraps that fall off the table and
are expected to be thankful for them!
