Which, as I pointed out at the beginning of this thread, has virtually nothing
to do with the consortium's proposal, except that it uses similar frequencies.
I guess you lost the concept that FM uses licensed spectrum and suffers only
minimal interference, and that CB uses unlicensed spectrum and is full of
interference.
And, that there is a world of difference between enjoying 60ghz in your home on
an unlicensed and minimally interfering basis, and trying to get a 60-ghz
signal to travel up to 1.2 miles reliably without the protection of a license
that gives you more protection from interference.
I would point out that in the higher frequency bands, what is unlicensed today
today tends to become licensed tomorrow (above 100 mw)
