10) How is amateur radio different from other competing informal radio
operation?

Some countries do authorize citizen, family, or remote control radio
services restricted to the use of government type-accepted equipment
having fixed frequency channels, limited power, limited antenna size
and/or height, and limited maximum distance.

Amateur radio is distinguished from these services by virtue of its
special characteristics: a) potentially unlimited range, b) no
restrictions to type-accepted equipment, c) transmission may take
place anywhere within the designated band, d) international
communications are allowed.
