Hi Clay,
It isn't that simple. Marriott offended against multiple laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions.
The FCC's concern is use of the spectrum. This they addressed -- intentionally preventing others' use of the spectrum gets you spanked.
Hi Bill, Right. So I think I was approaching it a different way, and I probably wasn’t clear enough about that. My question wasn’t meant to justify the response (deliberately booting people from non-Marriott SSIDs), it was about whether they had any legitimate right to claim that other wifi networks were impacting their own network’s performance, specifically based on the FCC’s position that a new transmitter should not disrupt existing operations. I was not in any way intending to say that their -response- was legitimate. Anyway, I think the departed horse has been suitably tenderized. Apologies for not being clearer, nothing to see here, etc. Thanks, -c
