The wireless technologies you take for granted all came to being on amateur bands. Its the only part of the spectrum designated for people to play with, and as such its where all the cool stuff you take for granted gets built. Theres a lot of Software Defined Radio stuff getting pioneered by the Hams now that one day you'll be using to send HDTV signals wirelessly. Just because YOU dont have the desire or want to play with open radio spectrum doesnt mean you dont benefit from it.
