<Wireless is a flawed technology> Best example of it is listening to a local radio station at night in our area. Pops and crackles. Too many generating stations for the band. Seeing cell phone reception decreasing in quality due numerous cell towers in our area. Reminescense of CB radio traffic the in 1970's. Clear when it started, but that silly Convoy song swamped users. Govt. auctioning the frequencies in the early 1990's helped some, but communication interference is fickle animal. For example, Arc welding nearby causes static to my phone/radio. Power lines still cause me to lose connection on the phone/radio. Many want to be free of the cable tether, but users are increasing too rapidly swamping all frequencies. Sometimes I read all the merits of wireless on the technical end and don't understand it even with an engineering degree. Much easier to see and hear the wireless results first hand. Maybe better in the future, but 20 years of listening haven't convinced me. Jack
