But has the ITU changed the treaty? Nothing can happen until then.

Long time ago. ARRL did what it could to prevent ITU from changing its
mind, but common sense prevailed. Code hasn't been an ITU requirement in
years. ARRL pulled out all the stops to prevent ham radio from having a
new flood of new hams without code on the old codgers' HF bands.

Now, we need to get rid of this stupid caste system and get down to ONE
license with all frequencies available to ALL, without CODE SUBBANDS, which
I predict are the next on the chopping block! USA hams may be heard from
14.100-14.150 on SSB before I die! What a concept....joining the rest of
the world on this precious slice of frequencies....all on PHONE.

Actually the ITU ended the code requirement in July of 2003 at WRC-03.

Nonsense. Marine VHF has no license at all and it's not like CB....well,
often....until their drunk. Ham radio is worse than CB when THEY're drunk.

The CG does a fairly good job of policing Marine VHF. No such thing in CB
or Ham, at least not like it used to be.

The CG does a fairly good job policing Channel 16 and 22A. I've never
heard them say anything to the cursing shrimpers on the other channels like
10 or the pleasure boat channels. They don't listen to them.

Actually, the above is only true for Non-commercial Marine VHF Radios.
All Commercial Marine Radios REQUIRE a Radio Station License.
