I was at a presentation at SharkFest that explained some of this.

http://www.cacetech.com/sharkfest.10/B-9_Bardwell-Secrets_Revealed-PART_2.pdf

is the slides. Look at the top slide of page 11 about the 5GHz U-NII
channels. Some manufacturers implement the higher classes which let you go
at more power, but not all countries allow the different frequencies to be
used.
