Falvio "Particularly.....Emergency Communications"
is mentioned in Part 97.1 that you quoted.
But we can argue about the number of angels on the
head of a pin all day long...
Realistically the fact that HAM EMCOMM exists and
has shown by its exemplary service in disaster after disaster is perhaps the
best protection we have for us retaining the ham bands.

Saludos Dr.,
I strongly disagree with your point. Read
the definition of the 97.3.(a).(4). Nowhere is Emergency Communications
mentioned.
97.3
(4)Amateur service. A radiocommunication service for
the purpose of self training, intercommunication and technical investigations
carried out by amateurs, that is, duly authorized persons interested in radio
technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest.
On
the basis and purpose part, just previous to this part, it states that it
intends to recognize and enhance the value of the amateur service to the
public as a voluntary non commercial communications service, particularly with
respect to providing emergency communications.
Read VERY CAREFULLY and
do not misinterpret the regulations.
Amateur radio is a
hobby.
However, if we fear that it is going to disappear as such a
hobby unless we turn into en emergency service, and we are willing to accept
that, so be it. For me, when this becomes and emergency service, that will be
the end.
