I'm not clear on whether it runs afoul of FCC regs as it's not RF interference directly but rather an (ab)use of higher layer control mechanisms operating on that spectrum, but it probably does run afoul of most "thou shalt not harm other networks" legislation like the California example.
You can't get to layer 2 or layer 3 without layer 1. The abuse of higher layer control protocols requires an RF transmitter within the radio spectrum, hence it is interference. It is a much more selectively targeted type of interference than broadband noise, but it's very obviously interference over radio frequencies by any definition. -- -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay () impulse net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV
