The system uses the 802.11a and 802.11b protocols, commonly refered to as WiFi.
What about 802.11g? If they're supporting 802.11a, they might as well support 802.11g, too.
Maybe they figure that the 802.11b users will just slow down the network for everyone, so they won't even bother. Why not have 2 separate APs, then? One for 802.11b and one for 802.11g?
Gotta love the FCC

At present, the FCC will not request personal identifying information prior to allowing access to the wireless network.An open network. At the FCC. They want as few people as possible on the public airwaves but they'll let anyone on their private network.
