could you explain the FCC regulation of wi-fi other than part 15 type
approvalacceptance of the apparatus by the FCC? I just bought a laptop with a
wi-fi card. Unlike my cell phone, there was no implied or explicit license.
Ye, I'm using it at this very moment, without fear of the "police."
I think you said this just to say something.

They definitely exist.
WiFi has the advantage of being very short range, specifically
made this way to avoid interfence problems between users and
between networks. Somewhat like CB radio. This too is
regulated by the FCC. Neither of these are a free for all.
Within any large organization which deploys WiFi in a big way,
you can bet there definitely is a WiFi police.
