Self-enforcement will never fly. As long as one competitor has the
ability to push the envelope the others will do so in order to stay
competitive. The only thing that will fix the "problem" is uniform
allocations globally. Allowing most of the world to operate any
mode, anywhere, any time will never work - bandplans or contest
sponsors will not make any difference.
