Hi Pavel. I have been monitoring some of the interesting work going on here. I am an 802.11 standards engineer who participates regularly at the IEEE meetings. Slight correction: Country Code "0" is considered a valid country code for "non-country" based WiFi applications. Boeing corporation spearheaded this notion within the standards group a few years ago to permit Boeing passenger jets to operate WiFi STAs in the passenger compartment. New in-flight WiFi services are just now emerging on commercial flights worldwide. These air-borne WiFi applications will use Country Code = 0. Further uses of this non-country country code are anticipated for cruise ship liners who also operate WiFi access points. Oddly enough, the US DOD is considering use of this "non" country code for non-US based operations. More applications may emerge later. Keep up the great work, guys. Pavel: Can you please post this for me on the reflector??
