Part of the problem is in the 802.1x standards. As they are currently defined they do not have support for decent radio resource management techniques. I agree that it is an open spectrum but it is almost equal to or larger than the spectrum available some standards in 3G wireless and hence are able to support more data rate per bandwidth available in a pico cell environment.
There are many startup companies that are currently developing RRM solutions for 802.1x that sit inside the base station and interact with other base stations to enable better resource management. But these solutions do not work in situations the post describes, as these solutions are proprietary.
Based on what I know standards are currently being developed to add RRM into the standards and once that is done and available in products we can see some improvement.
