[MLB-WIRELESS] Press Release

[evilbunny]

Hello Steven,

Yes but that's his interpretation of it, IIRC, there are other parts
to the legislation that regard to distance and crossing public
boundaries... eg you need a carriers license to run fibre, yet there
is no problem with air transmissions of laser (apart from safety
aspects), because laser transmissions are exempt under the current
laws... As such there are no precedents in the law under this area...
and without such it's a very fine line... This is because there is no
close relationships, so technically you could be seen as linking 2
networks together, which could be deemed illegal...

You are dealing with here at least 2 Government agencies, the ACA and
ABA, I'm sure others are applicable here somewhere as well, there is
also questions on the RF side of things too, I'm sure not everyone has
headed...
