Atlanta, GA | If you had invested 3B you would be protective too This is a good decision and a fair one. With the fact the frequency was unlicensed it allowed 802.11 developers not to give a rats ass where things ended up. This allowed them to use brute power instead of engineering a solution. Now they can't do that, they'll just have to go back to the drawing board. Good job FCC.

Right.
As long as it wasnt outside the spectrum. I cant imagine engineers sitting down saying "Gee, we are allowed to do whatever we want in the 2.4Ghz range, lets bugger up 2.3Ghz as well".
I fail to believe that every 802.11b device can be so shoddy as to interfere with transmissions in an different bandsplit. I also doubt that the 802.11b spec is to blame. If there is a single model or manufacturer that is causing a problem, single them out and bitchslap them. |

Atlanta, GA | It doesn't have to be everyone though... if the most popular 802.11 devices bleed over and cause problems then you have a serious issue. I am sure 95% of the engineers take steps to keep things tidy, but all it takes is a small minority to screw up a 3B dollar investment. Fix things now and take care of the problem now and you won't have it in the future and we all can have a sing-a-long!

As a WISP I can tell You first hand that developers do give a "rats ass" as they have no choice in the matter as every single device that emits RF in the 2.4 band has been certified by the FCC.The ONLY way an 802.11b device will cause problems in another band is if it has been modified by the end user and that is a problem no matter what kind of product we are talking about!!!!!(Take a look at "Tim the tool man"hehehe!).What Sirius(Sat. Co.) is asking is the same as me going out and buying a ##@! lawn mower for 3 billion$$ and then watching my neighbor cut his grass with a $1500 unit from Walmart and getting really P.O. because his works better!!!.If You are STUPID enough to spend that much in the first place without doing any upfront research than tough S#!T!!!!!!,But then again,I understand because this is how it always works,it does not matter if You have a valid argument or not,its how much clout You have in Washington!.Once again everyone will pay for one person's(or Companies)mistake.When is the last time that You heard a couple of a million Americans screaming about the fact that they could not get the same radio station from coast to coast???,thats right!,Ya didn't,but I know for a fact there are at least that many screaming for broadband and they can't get it!!!!!
