Amended from Wi-Fi Planet:
With the IEEE Atlanta Plenary Session over, news of progress on UWB
and the high-speed 802.11n could overshadow a potential civil war
between two factions scrambling to control what has been described as
the nirvana of wireless spectrum. It's almost fitting that a war of words between the somewhat beleaguered 802.16 (WiMax) proposal and the newly-developed IEEE 802.22
spec has taken on the proportions of a television drama. At stake is a
swath of sub-900 MHz TV bandwidth the FCC proposes to open to
unlicensed wireless use.
