Interesting statement regarding Cisco.
They sell $3000 per unit mesh equipment whose range would be hurt if
power limits were dropped.

But I don't think they do stuff with high-gain external antennas.
Peeking through Comments, Ericsson, btw, also supports the lower
limits. Again, a big supplier to the CMRS industry, so they probably
see WISPs as competitors.
The WiFi Alliance also calls for the stricter gain limit, presumably
because they only care about their indoor applications and want to limit
competing users of the band. I don't know what companies are in the
Alliance.

Motorola Solutions, makers of $6000 police walkie-talkies, explicitly
supports the lower gain limit.
Cisco also supports the lower power rule. They only make local access
points, after all, and are buddy-buddy with the Bells.
We should keep that in mind when making our purchase decisions.
