I don't believe you understand the issue or the consequences of this debate. This issue has been around for some time with little interruption. Most of the devices that operate wirelessly scan for the most clear channel to operate on. The use of devices that don't scan for clear channels to begin with shows a lack of foresight in the design of the hardware. We've seen things like this come and go in other bands as well. Think of Radio Controlled aircraft and cars. People got really tired of lock outs and expensive crashes so they created new systems that ran on 2.4Ghz. By design anything operating on that band needs to scan for a channel to make sure it's open before broadcasting on it. Please feel free to contact me regarding this issue, but I feel strongly that this will be a non-issue.

I'm afraid I don't understand...but then, tech isn't really my forte. What exactly does this mean--in English, please? Thanks. :-)
