I don't disagree 802.11a would be the practical choice based on interference, but there are othe issues with 802.11a.
My big issues with 802.11a are that relativily few computers have 802.11a cards, and 802.11a has limited bandwidth, which could limit possible uses(video streaming maybe).

This goes back it to the old fashion "what if this, what if that" but you will never know till it happens yet you can always dream.
Please people think before writing and consider all the possibilities and outcomes and do some research in the technology in this field you may be surprised on what you may find.

I think very few people want wireless programming in the pits. The concern I have is that if this type of rule were enforced it would prevent many of the scouting and collaberation systems teams have delevloped from being used.
And your other point, "why a debate over a nonexistent rule?". Its summer, we're not building robots, and we're geeks. What else are we supposed to do?
