I don't believe that the FM band can accommodate many more stations in
places where anyone is around to listen, but the FCC lacks the budget, and
therefore the personnel,  to do anything that even remotely resembles the
enforcement job that it should be doinmg today. Add hundreds or thousands of
additional LPFMs and the situation will become many, many times worse. In
this age of Internet radio, screwing up existing services to provide an
outlet for people who are primarily hobbyists is completely unjustifiable.
