Better radio tech can deal with higher noise floors. It's not as if the military has to ground their planes whenever the bad foreign leader du jour cranks up his WiFi... I know there would be a transition period during which people would be pissed off that FM had gone away. After we got through that transition, we would enjoy many benefits.

      They jammed the the C&C and encrypted military GPS and spoofed the civilian fallback GPS to run it into the ground.
