Let me see if I understand your "reasoning".  Apple thinks that there
should be radio spectrum allocated for computer networks.  Apple
is pursuing some lawsuits you don't like.  Therefore, radio networks
for computers are a bad idea?

Here are some other things you might want to avoid, then, because
Apple thinks they are a good idea:

	1. Compilers.  Apple uses and sells compilers.  Therefore
	you should not use a compiler.

	2. Disk drives.  Apple uses and sells disk drives.  Therefore,
	until they drop their lawsuits, you should stop using disk
	drives.

	3. Backups.  Apple probably backs up their data.  Therefore,
	until they drop those lawsuits, you shouldn't do backups.

	4. Usenet.  Apple is connected to the net, and several Apple
	employees post.  Therefore, until they drop their lawsuits,
	you shouldn't be using the net.

	5. Schools and Libraries.  Apple has donated computers to
	schools and libraries.  Until they drop their lawsuits,
	proposals for new schools and libraries should be opposed.

In other words, what the heck do these lawsuits have to do with
using radio for networks?
