Protecting a licensed band for some industries (e.g. healthcare, or SCADA controls) might be a good thing.

Again, it depends where you are, and what you are looking at. Sure, in some areas, you may have 25 people in one build using ch. 6 and no one is really moving a lot of traffic, so that it isn't congested based on the time bursts. However, add a couple of people downloading ISOs or <gag> using a P2P file sharing (mal)ware, and you can have a real mess.
Then there's the gray areas; hotels, motels, RV parks and all the other public hot spot providers; high usage times; and areas of mixed or adjoining residential/industrial areas.
