> It's hard to believe that there is a standard and devices are widely deployed that mess so so much with their environment.
This is entirely a problem of our own making.
We give cellular providers hundreds of MHz of exclusive spectrum access, and then deprecate and auction off the old analog TV channels to give them hundreds more, but we expect everybody else to shove all of their traffic into a 100 MHz block at 2.4 GHz.
It's not that this standard is doing anything particularly nasty to the environment, it's just that it happens to be messing with the one tiny head-of-a-pin that we've decided everything needs to live on.
It's a computer controlled radio for crying out loud, give us 400 MHz and let the computer figure out how to hop around.
