Well, in theory, 802.11a should scale better because of the shorter range and the additional non-overlapping channels. Now, I'm not guaranteeing that there won't be other issues we haven't identified. We haven't had the density on 11a yet to find the problems we don't know about. What we do know is that thus far folks using 11a on IETF networks have been happier than folks using 11b.
