News.com talks to the father of Wi-Fi: ->
"Does Wi-Fi have a boundary? A study group was just set up in 802.11 (standards committee) for going beyond 100 megabits. There's still some research to see how to further use the frequencies and radios. It would either need a bigger, more powerful cell (radio) or lots of little ones. We're not very keen on making a big cell, which has lots of frequency needs. We'd rather have smaller cells, which don't use as much frequency. You have to create additional frequency out of nothing, like reusing the frequency."
Now it makes sense why AGERE cames out of know where as has such an understanding of 802.11b.
