In the ARRL Great Lakes Division newsletter from Director Jim Weaver, K8JE, there was the following interesting item: an announcement of a new petition to the FCC for regulation-by-bandwidth. I'm not familiar with it - bears further investigation.
 
+++++++++ Regulation by Bandwidth +++++++++
 
By now you've probably heard there is a petition before the FCC that I
 
understand would bring a form of Regulation by Bandwidth to the US.
 
Before anyone jumps to the wrong conclusion, this petition was neither
 
developed nor is it supported by ARRL.
 
How can I be sure of this? I would have had to vote on a motion to
 
develop or to support the proposal. This had not happened and is not
 
scheduled to happen at our Board meeting next week.
 
So far as Regulation by Bandwidth is concerned, I've made the following
 
statement in a number of ways, but I will make it as a straight forward
 
promise to you. I will not vote in favor of a motion to support
 
Regulation by Bandwidth until the time comes that its provisions are
 
thoroughly understood by you and you support the idea.
 
Regardless, of my personal conclusion, I do not believe regulating by
 
bandwidth offers sufficient benefit at this time to warrant supporting
 
it.
 
One additional item is that I continue and will continue to support the
 
availability of all now-legal modes of amateur operation. If the mode
 
is legal today, I will continue to support its availability for amateur
 
use. Jim Weaver, K8JE
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It didn't get much exposure here since many were knee deep in the IARU voluntary Region 2 Band Plan "discussions".

If it is Mark Millen's petition, all it does is restrict data in the data subbands to 1.5kHz. No other changes that i could see.

It's still a poor concept, no matter the limitations.
