> Imagine what crazy technology we'd have if more spectrum was available for free-for-all access.

Well, FCC only regulates the U.S., right?

what happens in countries where there's more bands available? i remember a router that allowed me to select twice more wifi channels if i mention i was in japan...

3 extra. 1-11 (US) 1-13 (Europe) 1-14 (Japan).

American MacBook Pros (used to?) come locked to 1-11 with no way to change that, which really sucked if you ever traveled anywhere.

btw, one thing that wouldn't happen is me having to move the Wii away from the home theater with wireless back speakers >:
