There are two coffee shops next to each other. Two different ISPs (ISP-1 and ISP-2) each with a unique SSID provide 802.11 based Wi-Fi access to the coffee shops. Accidentally, both the ISPs configure their APs to operate on channel 11 not aware that their wireless coverage almost completely overlaps being too close to each other. Now consider two wireless hosts, one associated with ISP-1 and the other associated with ISP-2, that try to access the Internet simultaneously. Will communication be at all possible for the wireless hosts? Answer YES or NO and BRIEFLY explain why.
