WiFi Gridlock Coming?
A new report is saying that WiFi interference in urban areas will become a problem next year. The guy who wrote the report says he discovered the problem with his own WiFi access point at home, that had interference problems when students came back to school last month, and a bunch of new access points were set up near his home. He did some research on the issue, and now believes that WiFi interference in urban areas will hit a critical level sometime in 2004. The solution, he says, is to have the FCC release more spectrum.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
