We've heard so much from the manufacturers but little from the labs. The relationship between labs and manufacturers as with many seller-buyer interactions can be good or bad, but accrediting bodies are the ones that ideally should have surveillance apparatus to discover whether a lab is

Re: [PSES] 802.11a (5GHz WiFi) requires CE Alert sign, right?
