Summarising so far:

1. All urban areas are suffering from congestion
2. Most commercial networks are properly set up
3. Residential users are the cause of congestion
4. Residential and ISM users should work on different channels
5. Residentiall users should be using wired access
6. Most residential users don't change the channel from its default
7. Bluetooth is not suitable for SCADA
8. 802.11a is only useful up to 100 feet
9. Intelligent channel selection in routers. For: 2, Against: 1
10. More channels should be added
11. Taxing access would go down like a lead balloon
12. Canada is probably a bit cold (as a Brit that doesn't bother me much - is it wet too?)

A couple of other ideas to ease congestion:
- The beacon frame rate could be reduced
- The power limit could be reduced
