This article discusses the ongoing topics of interest in wireless networking, including VoIP over WLAN, lossless data compression, software-defined radio, radio regulatory, and the requirements of WLANs in the future. It also explores the evolution of Layer 2.5, multi-radio parallels, signaling protocols, and the revolution in radio regulation.

Revolution in Radio Regulation • A HORIZONTAL LEAP FORWARD: • FORMULATING A LAYERED POLICY APPROACH TO INTERNET PROTOCOL • with • RICHARD S. WHITT • Director, Federal Law and Public Policy, MCI • http://global.mci.com/about/publicpolicy/presentations/horizontallayerswhitepaper.pdf Peter Ecclesine, Cisco Systems
US NTIA Position • Create a low tax and limited regulatory environment that promotes our growing economy. • Work with industry and government engineers to reduce interference and promote spectrum “best practices”. • Remove government obstacles to development of new communications technologies and applications. • Use sharing where technically feasible to increase the amount of spectrum available for wireless services and streamline the process of licensing when licenses are required.
