Unlicensed freqs don't require a license however you can not legally add an amplifier to a system (in this case, your 5 GHz backhaul) that was not originally certified with the amplifier that you want to use. Hams, who are licensed and who share some frequencies with unlicensed operators do not

So what I think you're saying, we should restrict the user based on a predetermined usage limit then kick the throttling in for the entire connection, not per app. This is okay. Then the users who hit it once in awhile will never reach the "bandwidth abuse" level and would sail right on through a

Absolutely true. With HTTP, someone hits a page and then it stops. They sit reading the page. With the torrents, it's a constant stream and not just down but up as well. If you were to go out running and not stop to take a break, you'd be tired pretty quick. But run just a bit, sit for a bit,

The key words in the FCC quote is "users", not applications. They aren't restricting your ability to block or degrade IP address "162.21.25.200" because that IP address is generating spam or running up terabytes of traffic a month when you only have a DSL backhaul. They are trying to restrict you
