Well, at least I'm honest enough to admit the possibilities of it going
either way. Too bad that the nay-sayers won't admit to the same. If, as
you say, the nay-sayers see something that others don't see, it would
behoove them to provide concrete, comprehensive information that was
acquired via realworld field testing. As of yet, this has not occurred
from them. To date, their position is based upon casual observations, as
compared to researched testing that was gathered to support their claims.

If so, then why would the FCC give its approval? This from a governing
body that is very sensitive to interference.

If so, then they need to provide credible information that the industry
can review.
