Actually you don't have to move to .11a. Most chips nowadays support all three technologies. So you can deploy all three and allow the client devices to migrate. That is happening in hotpots already. Many support all three. Take a PCMCIA card like a Netgear WAG511 which is A/B/G. It will always automatically choose the .11a access point over the others if all things are equal. So when we deploy such hotspots, the operators are surprised to see so many people accessing their .11a AP's. In fact the people probably do not even know they are using .11A.
