I don't get why are people making such a big deal out of this? 2.4 works so does 72 so just pick what you are comfortable with, why the need to prove one system is "better" than another. Since the "better" is different in each case.
The AMA won't be able to make them get off of 2.4 anyway unless they ban it at competitions. The article is proposing additional frequencies. I really don't see why we should be upset with yet another option.
