Have you read about how OFCOM maybe investigating these devices due to the large amount of broadband RF they emit?
JUst let someone set a network up like this anywhere near me, they can moan all they want, but if I happen to transmit at a frequency and power that I am
licensed for, then they'll just have to suffer their network going down regularly.
Sorry, but manufactures of devices capable of emitting RF can't just design their devices to transmit where they want, they also get it in to their heads that even if a device doesn't interfere with with me, I could still interfere with it while still remaining perfectly legal myself.
Taken from a well know Amateur Radio site: "There are alternatives to this technology, wired or wireless solutions. UK regulator Ofcom are logging complaints as spectrum abuse and it's known that in three cases the adaptors have been removed by BT following complaints to Ofcom."
