Well, it was nice being a ham while it lasted. I look forward to our frequencies being sold for a profit.

I think hams are still the most likely people to track down and get illegal stations shut down. At what point do we say, "nah, don't care who you sold our frequencies to, this is our bit of spectrum and we're not moving."

I don't see the frequencies going away internationally, and so much equipment is already out. Plus, antagonizing a bunch of creative engineers who take their hobby way too serious is a great idea for all kinds of mischief to happen.
