Bandwidth increases with increasing frequency (at the expense of range). A lot of ham radio operators use the "high frequency" bands (<50 MHz) for long distance communication. However, APRS is commonly used on the 144-148MHz bands, which is the most commonly-used band for local (e.g. metro area) communication.
That's something I've never really considered being an en-US user. If you're willing, I'd love for you to write an article about this for Opensource.com. Email me (bcotton AT opensource DOT com) if you're interested.
