Also when you double the wavelength you halve the range (assuming that the power is the same). So to have an 802.11g card and an 802.11a card both with the same range then all things being equal (which they rarely are) the 802.11a card will use twice the power. Or the same power and have half the range. Which is pretty much what you said ;) and probably the reason.

Yep, would be nice to not have to worry about the interference so much.
