Congestion wears on wireless
Overlapping networks causing interference

Chuck Musciano helped coordinate his neighborhood's networks after all the 
wireless computers continued to interfere with each other.    
 
NEW YORK (AP) -- Gary Oglesby thought it was odd that his wireless network 
at WorldCom Inc. got unusually congested early each morning and again just 
after quitting time. 

Turns out a security gate at a parking lot just outside his group's 
offices shared the network's frequency. To reduce interference, Oglesby 
had to move an antenna away from the window. 

As more people go wireless to access the Internet, it is only a matter of 
time before these kinds of conflicts abound.
