It is now being used for multiple services that were not on the same form before according to the press release I attached.

It was my understanding that form 605 was always the form used for amateur radio license applications and that the only revision here is the question about felonies. Is that not correct?

Now to be used for ship, Aircraft, Amateur, Restricted and Commercial Operator and General Mobile Radio Services (GMRS)

WOW one form for all

In a way it kind of makes sense. 99.99+ percent of FCC licenses are for transmitters. A very small percentage are for people. Grouping the "people" license application onto a common form is likely to scale better for FCC. I'm kind of surprised to see GMRS in there as those licenses are for specific frequency use much like part 90. Maybe a throwback to when it was Class B Citizens Band.
