- Those are Amateur regs not cb regs. The cb packet network isn't meant to be a
- defacto Ham network and as such the Amateur regulations have no applicability
- as the whole idea is to have a much less rigid and less narrow medium.
-
- Hence, restrictions such as no political material etc should not be apllicable.
- Material transmitted would be similar in content to that on current bulletin
- boards.
