I have this report on 802.11A and the teacher wants to know why it didn't become a standard and i have looked on the internet but i haven't found anything saying why it didn't become a standard. do u know any good sites to go to that might tell me why. Or do u know the answer? This is for Networking class. I am kinda new at all of this. I would really appreciate the help. thanks

By definition it is a standard, as the IEEE is a standards body.
The main reason 802.11A isn't widely used is due to its limited range (60 feet, vs 300 for the 802.11b)

Not sure I'm following your question, because 802.11a *IS* an IEEE standard as of October 1999... this was the original standard to run 802.11 at 54Mbps in the 5GHz band using OFDM modulation.

It's not in the book?
I would try wikipedia. It should have detailed information on that protocol.
