An obscure battle over wireless airwaves comes to Trojan football
http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-wi-fi-lte-u-airwaves-usc-stanford-20150918-story.html
But with its "Save Our Wi-Fi" campaign, WifiForward -- a
coalition of giant Internet companies, device makers, cable TV
operators and others that have invested heavily in Wi-Fi
technology -- is trying to make a different point to federal
policymakers: that the advanced version of Wi-Fi needs more
airwaves, and that the ones it's using today shouldn't be taken
over by other technologies that hog the bandwidth. Among other
potential threats, the group is concerned about a high-speed
data technology called LTE-U, which uses 4G mobile data
protocols to transmit over the same 5 Ghz spectrum that
higher-speed versions of Wi-Fi use.
