I'm genuinely not just shitting on this because it comes from the Trump administration, but I already have no less than 23 neighboring WiFi networks that show up from inside my home. There's a lot of ones named "SpectrumSetup-*" too, which I'm assuming is the result of people who didn't realize their cable modem has its own built-in WiFi and just connected a separate router without bothering to disable the WiFi in the modem.
So, more transmit power is likely going to mean that the 6 GHz band is going to be
I regularly visit two people whose home wifi is SpectrumSetup-xxxx with the default password that's printed on the bottom of the router.
I suspect the vast majority of customers never change these. Spectrum doesn't make it easy, you can't just put 192.168.1.1 into a browser and change settings, you have to download a fucking app.
This might be seen as a "win" for consumers, but from a technical perspective, IMO, this makes zero sense. All it does is guarantee that your AR/VR headset will interfere with your neighbor's AR/VR headset. You don't overcome bandwidth limitations with higher power. You overcome it with wider bands at lower power and shorter over-the-air distances.
For the most part, Wi-FI access points should be *lower* power than they are. The louder they shout, the more interference to other devices, even with beamfor

6 Ghz came with Wi-Fi 6E, actually.
