I have, lamenting each time that our education system is releasing Network Admins into the wild with no RF knowledge. The story should have been...

We have now realise the error of our ways and are introducing compulsory RF Theory subjects to all our Networking courses.

Of course as others have said this is more marketing 'case study' by the antenna vendor than story. Notice TFA mentions that they did test antennas from other vendors, but give no indication of the relative performance. My bet is that most would be within the margin of error and that the ultimate choice came down to the discount they received for pushing out the 'case study' as news.

It is hardly newsworthy that a group of IT network techs 'fixed' their coverage and performance problems using directional antenna technology. Radio techs have been doing exactly that since they learnt about propagation. A newsworthy story would be that they have (finally) started incorporating at least basic RF theory in all IT networking related courses and subjects.

The key part of that quote for me is "by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Looks like the broken part of the system is allowing rights holders to sell their rights to another who acts as Author or Inventor, rather than simply licensing the use of the tech.

... didn't see the prev. sub.

The ordinance does not preclude fruit from being on a wharf, just allocates the responsibility for its removal to the Harbour Master if it becomes a nuisance. Given the submission looks like a selfie for ITWorld I'm not surprised there was no fact check.

What about all the non-free avenues they suggest you promote this through....how many youtwitfaces are non-free.
