802.11a isn't all that "new" ... Why are they only now deciding to support it?

Campus used to reserve 802.11a for classroom use not for the general public. That is a professor would
roll out laptops with 802.11a cards that could then join that network and use that network. Part of the "new" thing is that
802.11a is now being opened up as a "public" network and advertised for everyone to use instead of being reserved
for things on rolling carts etc...
So yes the tech is not new but how we are using it now is.
