Not correct. If it's on one radio it's using the same RF space it wasbefore, just with a virtual SSID. Just like the atheros or Ruckus stuff it's the same RF space with an additional BSSID bridged to a differentsoftware bridge or pseudo interface.
It's an either/or... they have their own radio, thus adding to an already congested RF arena, or they ride the same channel as the customer, thus consuming (degrading) their wifi bandwidth. (bring an 802.11b device to the part if you want to see just how ugly that can get.)
