That’s a bit reminiscent of QST editorials from January 1991 and May 1996.

Yes, a very interesting article.
If you think about this as a 3-dimensional "space" with frequency on one axis, time on another orthogonal axis, and location/area on the third axis orthogonal to the other two; you can easily visualize how vulnerable our amateur allocations are compared to other services i.e. broadcasters or Wi-Fi.
Perhaps we should make a special effort to rally the amateurs in Seattle, Redmond, and Washington DC to activate our Microwave bands with high bandwidth modes and long "rag-chews". Otherwise the Microsoft data will show some "un-used" amateur allocations.
It's a bit like putting your thumb in the crack in the dyke - I know.
