Progeny location system might decimate WISPs, other equipment if FCC approves
http://j.mp/XAGvAf (ars technica)
Depending on whom you ask, the Progeny Waiver will either (a) totally
wipe out the smart grid industry, annihilate wireless ISP service in
urban areas, do untold millions of dollars of damage to the oil and
gas industry, and wipe out hundreds of millions (possibly billions) of
dollars in wireless products from baby monitors to garage door
openers; (b) save thousands of lives annually by providing enhanced
9-1-1 geolocation so that EMTs and other first responders can find
people inside apartment buildings and office complexes; (c) screw up
EZ-Pass and other automatic toll readers, which use neighboring
licensed spectrum; or (d) some combination of all of the above.
