1. A method of operating a wireless computing device having at least one radio, the method comprising:

  • dynamically determining at least one frequency in a first regulatory domain and at least one frequency in a second regulatory domain, wherein the second domain is a licensed domain, and wherein dynamically determining at least one frequency in the licensed domain comprises;

    obtaining information from a source external to the computing device indicating unused channels within the licensed domain; and

    repeatedly accessing the source external to the computing device to determine whether the at least one frequency in the licensed domain remains available;

    decomposing data for transmission into at least a first portion and a second portion;

    with the at least one radio, concurrently transmitting at least the first portion using the at least one frequency in the first regulatory domain and the second portion using the at least one frequency in the second regulatory domain; and

    when the at least one frequency in the licensed domain does not remain available, subsequently transmitting data using the at least one frequency in the first regulatory domain without concurrently using the at least one frequency in the second regulatory domain.
