So, let me get this straight:

A consumer-class remotely controlled device with a range of six meters at the outside is banned in Cyprus because it might conflict with their operational frequencies. Even if they won't say what they are, a little bit of research will reveal what frequencies their military uses for communications, if only through inferrence.

It was inevitable. There's only so much bandwidth to go around.

"It was inevitable. There's only so much bandwidth to go around."

I hope you mean brain power by that...

Past 300 GHz, the atmosphere absorbs too much energy for those frequences to be useful for data transmission. Also, some frequencies are unusable because they are full of noise from legitimate appliances, mostly motor driven devices, or bleedover from other frequencies (ever listen to KDKA-AM in Pittsburgh on your telephone?)

On top of all of this, the bands in this country are already diced up, and the commercial or official users of those bands are loath to let anyone use them, even for short-range (six feet, let alone six meters) applications.

Just wait 'till I get to Cyprus. Plains will be all kinds of lost!
