Hi....  the FCC's position about a transmitter not disrupting existing
operations applies to various licensed frequencies  but not the
low-powered unlicensed transmitters.

Please don't imagine that Part 15 devices have any regulatory
protection against interference from any other Part 15 devices being
operated, no matter which device is "new",  except for the prohibition
against Malicious/Willful interference.

Of course, it is within the FCC's power to regulate,  there just isn't
this regulation in Part 15.
