Some more lower frequencies would be nice #

As everyone discovered with 11a there's a point where the wavelength gets so small that a typical room or office is just a mess of dead spots. So while more free spectrum would be welcome the best place to get it from would be from redundant UHF TV bands, not much higher frequencies. These frequencies are more user friendly and they're easily designed into low cost technologies.
The thing that's nice about the ISM (2.4GHz) band is that its such a lousy piece of crowded spectrum that its forced the mass production of incredibly sophisticated radios. If we used the rest of the spectrum that efficiently we'd have loads of room to work with.
