Is that a problem? My wifi works great on the limited garbage spectrum that it has been allowed to operate on. I think spectrum licensing served an important purpose in the days when everything was analog, but now it's just a way to get a great return on investments in lobbyists.


How does digital change this? It is still subject to interference, noise, and bandwidth limitations.


At the RF level there's still a lot of pain with WiFi. It works okay for what it's meant for but the long-range/low-power stuff they want to do with LTE-direct wouldn't be possible.
