In an online conversation with Brian N1URO, we have both come to the
same conclusion:
We need a group such as TAPR to start getting more involved with the
FCC and bypass the ARRL.
I remember back when I never really understood TAPR. I knew what the
name stood for, so I always assumed they were the voice representing
the digital aspects of the hobby. Then I heard a 2008 Rain report
where Steve Bible explained TAPR.

I wonder if there is any chance of them taking up the role that I
thought there were about?
And as I stressed before, I feel its important to have a futuristic
thought process when making comments as it takes many years for
regulator changes to actually happen. And in that light, this is
from a 2012 webinar, where Chris Imlay W3KD and Ed Hare W1RFI predict
and speculate what ham radio will be like in 25 years (2037):

Listen to that when you have the time, add your own thinking and start
drafting your thoughts to the commission.
