The military and a consortium of WiFi vendors have agreed on interference thresholds for 802.11 devices that will allow them to peacefully (heh) co-exist with military radar.
"We feel comfortable that the new limits will protect military radar," said Badri Younes, a director of spectrum management at the Department of Defense...

"No one is entirely happy, and that's the essence of compromise," said Intel spokesman Peter Pitsch.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
