[MLB-WIRELESS] FW: [amsat-bb] Could this be Sirius trouble?

[Tony Langdon]

Hmm, while the basic issue is not the same here (the band in question is
used here for MMDS TV), this could lead to long term price increases for
WLAN gear here.  Also the potential for a temporary 'glut' if manufacturers
have to dump stocks of suddenly non compliant cards on to our market...

Worth watching, even if only to see how things pan out. :)

Please take a look at this story.  I didn't realize the plan to broadcast 
satellite radio to earth used these frequencies.

http://www.internetnews.com/wireless/article/0,,10692_992321,00.html

The satellite radio industry uses an adjacent frequency to deliver its 
service, using 2.32 to 2.34GHz. The unlicensed band, 2.4-2.483GHz, is only 
55MHz away from the upper end of the licensed band, Sirius officials say, 
and could possibly overlap. As such, Sirius is asking the FCC to reduce the 
wattage of those unlicensed devices, to 8.6 u V/M, or the wattage gadgets 
expel to transmit their 2.4GHz signal.
