    I hope problems like this, prompt the public to pressure the FCC. Between them and the Patent office, we should be screaming to our politicians that lack of forsight in these departments is going to slow progress. The government needs to hire some intelligent people for these departments, and stuff like this won't happen quite so frequently.

    okay, if their lighting disrupts our communication, is there a (legal) way to make our communication disrupt their lighting? this is our bandwidth, we were here first. if they want to destroy it (i.e., not play nice) then they better be prepared.
