It always amazes me how pulsing some electricity into a wire at a specific frequency can get you arrested lmao. I really don't understand why there's any legislation at all covering anything above 1GHz where there's enough bandwidth for literally everyone to do whatever they damn well want and not enough range to do any damage at all.

There are satellite comm frequencies above 1ghz that you could easily jam from a more powerful terrestrial transmitter, like gps.
Literally my wifi goes down when my microwave turns on... there are reasons regulations are put in place
