It's unfortunate that someone deliberately comes up with something like 
this that adds a lot of junk to a band that's already full of sources of 
interference.  Then there's that 2.4 ghz source you have in your kitchen 
or office breakroom.  I get my internet
connection wirelessly via the library across the street.  My connection 
dies whenever I use the microwave.  While I'm waiting on my burrito to 
cook, I can scan for available networks but won't find any.

Besides cordless phones, what sources of interference are there to 
802.11n networks?
