802.11y is 802.11a/b/g modulation but on the 3650-3700MHz band. It is
suppose to be exactly the same as 802.11a/b/g, but with a different
contention protocol and different MAC layer timing so that it works at
much longer ranges.

3650-3700MHz is US only. However, there are other possible bands.
See:

Dunno.
