Thursday, December 07, 2006. Keima HQ Included in Live Data Update. Microsoft has updated their bridseye data. For more information see the Windows Live Local Blog.

Simon Chapman's Blog: Power Increases for UK Wi-Fi Rejected
http://simonchapman.blogspot.com/2006/11/power-increases-for-uk-wi-fi-rejected.html
Tuesday, November 21, 2006. Power Increases for UK Wi-Fi Rejected. In July 2006 Ofcom. Initiated a consultation on higher power limits for license exempt devices. One idea was that rural devices could have higher power limits. I'm not sure what Ofcom were thinking here, but I thought this was clearly unworkable:. The increased interference on Bluetooth would make rural areas no-go regions for hands-free users;. Wi-Fi devices would have to be location aware in order to meet standards. XNA on Channel 9.
