<font color=SeaGreen>Washington favors the WiFi industry yet again...

It's clear that the government isn't buying the argument by some in the industry that millions of taxpayer dollars to widespread broadband access and maintain the country's economic advantage.

But that doesn't mean Washington isn't doing anything to address the situation. Rather, the steps are taking are more measure, if less dramatic, than sending sweeping legislation up to Capitol Hill. One area where the government does have a hand is in management of the spectrum -- which carriers wireless traffic to and from cell phones, PDA and pagers.

Regulators are considering doubling the spectrum used by devices that support the 802.11 (define) wireless standard. That combined with new "smart antennas," which help cut interference, should help alleviate the crush for wireless bandwidth, Gallagher said.
