Nope, I'm not missing it. The whole area around the WiFi spectrum is one big junkyard (that's why WiFi uses it), a couple extra channels don't matter that much.

GSM spectrum has to be carefully guarded. It's quite easy to make it unusable by having a lot relatively high-powered (2 watt) cell phone radios interfering with each other.
