From EET.com: “Prospects for a harmonized global wireless LAN standard
appear bleak, as political and legal barriers emerge in Europe and Japan to
block adoption of the IEEE-802.11a WLAN specification, backed robustly

accept a three-standard world, with its echoes of the third-generation
(3G) mobile communications standardization process – at least in the
short term.”
