Restrictions against Bluetooth at events?
I was looking at the rulebook from 2011, and was curious if there were restrictions on Bluetooth Personal Area Networks (PAN). Bluetooth does operate in the 2.4 GHz band, but the rulebook specifically pointed out 802.11 a/b/g/n. Bluetooth falls within the 802.15 group and heck, only has a 30 foot range. While this wouldn't sound like a lot, it could potentially be used to have a network of iPads for scouting purposes.
