I seem to remember some interesting stuff about wireless in the US during the Google mapcar fiasco. Something about its not whether its in the clear and broadcast but if people think that it is determining a lot of the law around it. Memory is fuzzy and my searches aren't turning up the results I'm looking for. Does anyone else remember this?
