FCC took 11 meters from Hams and gave it to CB'ers.

Actually what the FCC did was to take the 11 meter band and create the
General Radio Service Class C and Class D.
Class C was limited to only a few channels (6) limited to control and
paging. Class D was farmed out as 23 channels with only AM modulation
and a max. of 5 watts power input to the finals. This was later
modified to 40 channels and 4 watts input.
The classic CB'er came just prior to the increase to 40 channels.
