This is interesting - [link]
It shows the old frequency allocations such as "Taxi radio service" and "Telephone maintenance radio service" before categories like "Industrial business pool" came out
Many of those frequencies are still licensed to their original licensees

I found that probly just browsing around for random frequencies like i do from time to time
Its intresting to see that some of the phone cartels are still (for lack of a better word) hoarding some of those "telephone maintenance" freqs
And its amazing that some of the "power radio service" freqs such as 158.220 are indeed still used by power companies such as PSEG
Fordyce was definitely accurate for many years and suprisingly some of the freqs on there are still valid
Great they keep that site online
For a while there i heard something like it got hacked and if you visit you could get a virus
But i still check fordyce as a reference and havent had a problem like that ...

Some very interesting stuff
The "Telephone maintenance radio system" apparently built by AT&T in the late 80s/early 90s
Operated on UHF freqs intended to be used for field repair crews/line workers
I guess its somewhat of a precursor to later nationwide PTT systems
Makes me wonder how the coverage was
