Just playing devils advocate but it doesn't sound like they're creating radio interference. It sounds like they're interfering at the protocol layer, which would be another matter (likely also against regulations)


You don't have to be "creating radio interference". You have to be "interfering with radio communications".

Intentionally preventing a radio communication from occurring is interfering with it.


Ultimately if you follow the network layers it gets to physical media. Without physical media nothing works. Ergo, just layering over the top of the physical layer means you still interfere with wifi comms.
