Hi Bob,

I like your design sketch and the ideas behind it.

	Maybe design this to be dual band from the start to avoid the up/down "tdm" approach we currently use? Better yet go full duplex, which might be an option if we get enough radios that not much beamforming/MIMO is necessary? I obviously lack deep enough understanf=dingwhether this makes any sense or is just buzzword bingo from my side :)

The goal with wireless isn't high densities but to unleash humans. A bunch of humans stuck in a dog park isn't really being unleashed. It's the ability to move from block to block so-to-speak. FiWi is cheaper than sidewalks, sanitation systems, etc.

Engineering extra capacity by orders of magnitude is better than AQM. This has been the case in data centers for decades. Congestion? Add a zero (or multiple by 10)

	I am weary of this kind of trust in continuous exponential growth... at one point we reach a limit and will need to figure out how to deal with congestion again, so why drop this capability on the way? The nice thing about AQMs is if there is no queue build up these basically do nothing... (might need some design changes to optimize an AQM to be as cheap as possible for the uncontended case)...
