The sky is falling! Well sure. It's getting crowded, at least it is here
in the Boston area. But that doesn't mean everything is going to crash.
What needs to happen is a few things like getting off of one of the
default channels, and having everyone set their access points to send less
beacons. One every 5 seconds should be sufficient. Also I've seen a lot of
broadcast traffic from wired to wireless segments because they're bridged
together, this creates more pollution too.

802.11a still has plenty of room, and less range so therefore less
interference problems.

I don't think this is responsible journalism, it's just someone trying to
get his articles read.
