The Moral:
Today, wireless LAN systems are rated by how far individual nodes transmit.
As network densities increase, a better figure of merit will be how near they transmit.

In a dense network, bandwidth is limited if one transmitter dominates the available airspace. Therefore, a better figure of merit is how tightly localized the transmitters are, not how far each transmitter can reach.
