[MLB-WIRELESS] Faster wifi means more spectrum clutter for all :-(

Next generation of WiFi (802.11ac) allows for 160MHz channels - that gobbles
up FOUR of the current maximum, and EIGHT times the original wifi channel
width.

That means in the 2.4 band, there is only room for one channel and 2 or 3
channels in 5GHz band.  The airwaves are about to get even more clogged with
noise - even more reason to make sure your own transmitters stay within the
regulatory limits!
