You're right Fred, but watching the dialogue for the past few years (led by Shure) the wireless mic sector/users lost the battle.

I've read comments about financial costs, not to mention performance degradation. There's no easy, fail-safe and legitimate workaround.

Upstream long ago: "Oh no! Back to wired mics!"

re: "Wireless mics are one of the more critical spectrum applications. When you pay $100 for a Broadway ticket, you want the singers to be in unison, not some of them delayed a half second..."

If that's your criteria for critical (and it is totally irrelevant to 99% of the population), are you saying you want to go back to the pre-1980's command and control, where every use gets special assignments, and has regulated limitations on that use and therefore future growth?

You know how many thousands would be in line for those special assignments? That would be a giant step backwards, unless I'm missing your point.

No, Fred, I'm not being (entirely) facetious. Wireless mics are crucial to the livelihoods of many, as described in this 2008 article from Wired:
