Uhm  HELLO?? Mc Fly??

YOU CAN'T fix it! WHY? Because it's NOT ON your station's assigned channel -
it's on the ADJACENT CHANNELS! In other words. it DOESN'T INTERFERE with
YOU -
instead, it BLOTS OUT YOUR NEIGHBORS!

The best analogy I can think of is that you have two GREAT BIG 2 million
CANDLEPOWER FLOODLIGHTS that aim AWAY from your house. Your house is 100%
light tight, so you don't SEE any light, but your neighbors' houses aren't -
so YOUR bright lights keep them both awake all night.

You wouldn't be a very good neighbor if you did this - RIGHT?

BUT with IBAC, that's EXACTLY what you're doing to your neighbor's spectrum!

-D



Yup, you've got it. That's (part of) the point I've been making for some
time now. And the part I don't understand is why the folks who invented and
are pushing this don't understand (or care about).
