gollark: Instead of the auctions in use now, which at least make some money.
gollark: If you ban anything which interferes with an established network you basically have the same system but with a weird finders-keepers angle.
gollark: If there was no licensing, it would be possible for some cryoapioform to decide "hmm, I really want to communicate with some random person over here" and use an overpowered transmitter, thus drowning out all mobile phone reception nearby (on that frequency, at least, they can use several).
