I guess we need more enforcement before RM-11708 is even considered

"Online hacktivist collective Anonymous has announced that it is working on a
new tool called Airchat which could allow people to communicate without the
need for a phone or an internet connection - using radio waves instead.
Anonymous, the amorphous group best known for attacking high profile targets
like Sony and the CIA in recent years, said on the project's Github page:
'Airchat is a free communication tool [that] doesn't need internet
infrastructure [or] a cell phone network. Instead it relies on any available
radio link or device capable of transmitting audio.' Despite the Airchat system
being highly involved and too complex for most people in its current form,
Anonymous says it has so far used it to play interactive chess games with
people at 180 miles away;

So yeah we connected our 897Ds to our computers, we shouted out to our bros
to tune in and then we started playing around.
. . .
Initially AirChat used code from 'minimodem' and then from 'soundmodem'
sources but after suggestions from the ham radio people involved in ARES, we
decided to make it modular to use the Fldigi software, a broadly deployed
solution for use with ham radios.

Symmetrical encrypted packets are available also and can be used as an extra
layer too. General non-encrypted packets also available by default for general
broadcasting and community discussion. (also for those people on some countries
where laws forbid encryption on certain radio frequencies, etc). Disclaimer: we
dont give a f**king sh*t about prohibitions over the use of encryption. f**k
you NSA.
