Sorry, I don't recognize the language you are using to refer to the current
topic. The FCC doesn't need a precedent to adjust it's regulatory perspective
or inclination. If the FCC wants to cancel all amateur licenses and give the
spectrum to GE for some energy saving RF transmission technology they will do
so. The 300,000,000 people of the nation won't blink an eye.
So, enjoy what you have, it is a priviledge and nothing more. I wouldn't waste
a nanosecond worrying about precedent.
Best,

My bet is that the manufacturer got a deal on some 433MHz camera modules
from China.

Doesn't matter; the legal world is ruled by precedents. This sets an
unhealthy one. And NTIA/Military has spoken up on the matter -- did
you see the section in the order where the device would not be operated
within so many miles of several AFBs, which are known to house PAVE-PAWS
installations?
