Thanks for the clarification.

When you say "does not allow data", do you mean spread spectrum 
communications? For example, isn't the little slice of unlicensed 
spectrum at 49 MHz an ISM band? There are plenty of devices that use 
that for non spread spectrum "data transmission". Or is this another 
case of using the term "ISM" too loosely?
