UK relaxes 802.11a regs

The UK Government is to open up part of the radio spectrum in a bid to 
encourage operators to deliver new broadband services.

The deregulation means that telecoms operators will be able to offer commercial 
broadband services through public networks without the need for a Wireless 
Telegraphy Act licence.

As a result, commercial network operators and other public and private users 
will be able to set up Radio Local Area Networks (RLANs) to operate 802.11a 
services in parts of the 5 GHz radio spectrum.

The changes will come into effect on 12 February.
