If the FCC had given the license to CB Operators, instead of cellphones, how would this have effected communications as we now know it?

CB operators fought hard to have the FCC award them the license for broadcast towers, instead of commerical cellphone broadcasters. Just think, if we did not have cellphones today, but instead had a nation on the “good buddy” network, how would you feel about sharing with the truckers?

Question: would you have been satisfied to share mobile communications with the truckers? Would cellphones communications have suffered and not near the accessability as we know it, today?
