Will this be followed by proprietary digital modes that sound like a GE Mini Gun to everybody else?
Not enough people on AM. Now those few will be spread across more channels.
I talked with President USA yesterday and there are plans for some FM capable radios for 2022.
I suspect the reality of the change will actually be quite boring and uninteresting. Even social media's typical push to make something out of nothing has little to say. Maybe one channel, one of the old unused remote control channels, could be used for guys who want to broadcast position info etc.
Is the space between 11 and 10 meters actually used by anybody?

Yes, there are licensed users above 27.405.
The only time that I am personally aware of usage on these frequencys was right after 9/11.
Up on 27.650 there was emergency com's being used, the radios were RCI 2970's that were purchased from John Mahoney that used to own Panther Electronics, paid for by FEMA.
I also know of military com's below 26.965 on upper side band.
More than once my brother and I have " bumped into other users" down there.
One I remember well was a radio com's operator onboard a aircraft doing touch and go landings at night down at Edwards AFB.
Over a period of several weeks we talked to this guy, always late at nite.
So yes, there are frequencys above, and below the CB band that have other users.

there is a large group gathered on 26.805 to make it the international call for fm,,, kinda like 27.555 is for ssb,,,, seems like if i remember that is channel 41 fm in germany or europe some where,,,,,
Yes lost in the woods. They never replaced the cobra 148 gtl with a comparable ssb rig. Uniden has always had one..
True! Not to mention the fact that in the U.K.,for many years, there were a lot of rallies for the legalization of AM on the 27mhz CB band because they only had FM. Sometimes people only want what they don't have!
I checked 26.805 yesterday. I heard a few folks in there on fm
