	Wireless' Manifest Destiny Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

From slashdot

quote: "According to an article on WiMaxTrends, the metropolitan area wireless networking technology (MLAN) called WiMax could reach 90% of the mainland US population if about $3 billion was spent on infrastructure. The 802.16 standard specifies a max range of about 30 miles and a max speed of about 70 Mbits/sec, but typical ranges and speeds will typically be smaller. 802.16/WiMax specifies various licensed (3.5Ghz) and unlicensed (5Ghz) frequency ranges but the unlicensed ranges have Wi-Fi like transmitting power restrictions."

I'm posting this via a DSL connection of my friend, who lives in a nearby building and is probably asleep . We are connected with a 802.11g wireless protocol and it is great. In the vicinity, there are dozens such networks, and the city is covered with many more, some interconnected.

Wireless is great.
