I guess it all depends on what this bw range is currently used for, I'm not sure how it is currently regulated. If memory serves there is a swath of the micro band which is designated the "junk band" and the FCC pretty much leaves it alone for the use of scientific testing and microwave ovens.
basically running wireless service in this band is akin to UBR QoS in atm networks; you're not guaranteed anything, but it's cheap.
Another interesting point, though, is that in the USA, the american people own the rights to these frequency bands, the FCC is supposed to act as agent to prevent abuse by companies, etc., so true non-profit citizen groups should have the right to use them for free. private companies aren't paying for them anyway (apart from the one-time registration fees).
At least in my current experience i don't think it's so much coders not planning their code out, it's schedules artificially compressed by mgmt at expense of high-level design, etc., which would prevent a lot of the back-end cost debugging this crap. there's too much pressure to just sit down and start coding.

just do it like subdividing a building to make a new address, put a 1/2 on it, like 975 1/2 Ohio St.
