[edit] Low-power

This article is not profound and adds little value. It merely takes the term power and describes what not much of it means. Bobblewik 18:50, 7 October 2005 (UTC)


I'm the original author of low-power, so I'm not exactly unbiased, so I don't expect you to count my vote to keep. I personally think it is a very interesting and counter-intuitive idea that "whispering" may be better at communicating than "shouting". (I wish I could remember that nice "whispering vs. shouting" article I read about it, comparing low-power spread spectrum meshes over high-power tall broadcast towers ... Ah, I think it's the one mentioned by [1]. Similar ideas are expressed elsewhere [2][3] [4] [5] [6] ). I hoped that people would expand the low-power article to talk more about that idea. (The name "Low-power communication device" *sounds* like it might be more appropriate for that sort of talk, but the content seems to be about a legal term that only applies to one specific frequency band, not about low-power communication in general). You may be right -- it might work better as a disambiguation page between the two very different meanings of that phrase. --DavidCary 19:48, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
