a has it's uses, especially in crowded places like expo's.
when everyone has their g networks up next to each other, all the 2.4gHz channels are flooded with traffic, but the 5GHz range of a & n are still pretty free.

Increasing popularity in 5GHz n is going to diminish that opportunity in the future tho
