interesting article, but the guy mixes up the terms "cognitive radio" and "spread spectrum."

There's another solution: abandoning the current method of spectrum allocation in favor of a technology called "spread spectrum."
uhh... WiFi already uses SS...
802.11 used FHSS (freq hopping)...now relegated to the lower speeds of 802.11b
the higher speeds use DSSS (direct sequence).
