*** But my point still holds that if the FCC had really wanted to
de-clutter the 'old' AM band by moving stations to the X-band, they
would have then refused to accept any applications for those
'abandoned' facilities. Whether they failed to incorporate that part of
the plan into the rules in the first place, or failed to follow their
own plan or both, I don't know, but clearly they undermined their own
ability to make 'part a' stand without having 'part b' working. 

Or maybe the whole business about clearing space on the original band
was just political spin / window-dressing in the first place and there
never was any intent to not re-use the facilities - just an added
argument to get the X-band opened in the first place ?
