Hmmmm.  Well, let's see.  Apple will get the FCC approval, then run with it.
About 1 year later, some other company will come out with a radio-net type
thing, and Apple, in their usual manner, will sue them like with other
things (*cough* windows *cough*).

When Apple can show *me* that they are interested in making such a thing for
the advancement of computing rather than making a buck, then I'll sign, too.
Until then, their current lawsuits speak otherwise.
