The1 and 2 IARU region band plans are very similar; region 3 lays out bands by mode, see the links:
   http://www.iaru-r2.org/band-plan/
1 and 2 recommend up to 2700 Hz in what are the USA phone bands.
Notwithstanding, USA AMers use up to 6 kHz in parts of the 75 m band,
as they should! Every mode has its adherents.
The IARU band plans are just that: plans - voluntary plans, they do not have the force of regulations. We have band plans in the USA as well (without the force of law), and most hams respect them. The "RTTY bands" expand a bit during contests, and contract (sometimes to zero! no one to be found!)
during other times. Good to have the flexibility.
As a bunch, we generally do a very good job of self-regulation.

Probably they won't help. A bandwidth oriented bandplan has been in place in

Joe will say that that can't be compared because there's a much higher ham 
population in the US.
But how many are really active on HF?

I'd be up for a petition type thing, however, I'm not sure signatures from out 
of the country would hold much weight, perhaps some comments from groups such 
as the RSGB or DARC or other countries amateur radio groups would carry more 
weight....

By the way, let me float this to the RTTY community -- do you prefer that
we submit individual comments to the FCC, or do you prefer that we
together draft out something for interested parties to sign (and tout their
own credentials, if need be).

I know that there is already at least one effort to collect as much
documentation as possible to counter
ARRL's lame idea. I have been in the CC of emails of such activity, and have 
also participated in the private discussions.

If a collective, well thought out comment is publish before any FCC deadline, 
would you prefer to sign that instead of submitting your own?

I have not floated this idea to anyone yet, I am interested in what the 
community prefers, and we'll
see if the folks who are already drafting a comment (let's call them "the usual 
suspects" of RTTY HI HI) would be willing to let others add their names.

BTW, the signatures do not have to be limited US licensed hams, since QRM can 
travel far and wide and affect everybody, including SWL.
