The range of those bands means one has to share them with allot more people. Resulting in lower bandwidth per person.

- bjd2385 11y agoI agree. It'd be great to have more frequency bands, but if we're all on the same wifi, what if someone starts downloading obscene amounts of data?
- jessaustin 11y agoThat's true, if one is using the same kind of radio tech that Marconi used. Fortunately numerous techniques for intelligently sharing spectrum have been developed. R&D in this area will only accelerate when applications like those described in TFA are finally allowed.
- Zigurd 11y agoIf APs are cheap, you can get very high capacity by deploying more APs and managing transmission power so as not to step on adjacent APs. The trick is to make the radios smart enough to make coverage good enough without having a carefully designed deployment of APs. Hopefully we can leave the antediluvian idea of "spectrum ownership" behind.
