One of the big problems with our rules regarding HF data (not directly
related to this mailing list) is that the rule is too closely tied to
a technology. There is a symbol rate limit, when I believe the intent
of the law was a bandwidth limit. If they had simply made it a
bandwidth limit we would be allowed to use modern digital modes with
greater symbol rates. Rules tied to a specific technology will not
remain relevant over time and should be avoided.

I suspect the difference of opinion here comes
from the local rules we
are bound to.
That might be. What would be your ideal set of rules?
We have a lot of wishes pending for the next big change of local rules.
Smaller changes are even possible in shorter time periods.
Maybe we should think about how an ideal amateur radio world should look
like in terms of interconnecting networks.
I wonder whether the amateur radio community could agree on a common set
of rules so that we can talk to our regulators and look for solutions
how to implement...
Maybe the first step is harder than the second...
