Hams have been doing that for quite a while. They are a smallish number, but I wouldn't be inclined to see that in the same way. They are indeed experimenting - which is what amateur radio has always been partially about - and they're doing so by choice. The FCC has and may yet reduce the number and size of ham bands due to relatively light use, but there's insufficient big money to be made for trying to force all hamming to digital.
