I suspect this is one of the reasons why thinghs are getting better. 
By using 11a we get better quality for the 11a users and reduce contention
for the 11b/g people (though I suspect most g's fall back to b?).

Any charts of volumes of use? :)

I loved the analysis paper done for the network a couple of years ago;
any more documentation/discussion like that is very welcome.
