Actually, the WECA group is saying that the May 16, 2002, FCC order (just a
few days ago) that allows non-DSSS/FHSS modulations in the 2.4 GHz range
includes OFDM, thus freeing the 802.11 Task Group G to finalize the spec
with the compromise mandatory/optional modulations.

I'm assuming PBCC gets swept into the big tent with this as well, as it's a
conforming spec: non-DSSS but has similar characteristics that allow to
qualify.
