There are a lot of misconceptions about all of this airspace licensing and use.
The spectrum used by 2.4 GHz and 5GHz WiFi is open to non-licensed ("ISM band"

While I understand the concerns of enterprise Wi-Fi managers, I think it would
be difficult for the FCC to modify these rules in a way that protects

This is probably way too much to ask for but I think we will be having problems
until the FCC carves out an entirely new band allocation that has the space and
width and technology to handle dense high user count, high bandwidth,
environments. Would have to be low enough frequency so we would no
That is actually encouraging if it is true. It is certainly implied by the
