Within an office/wherehouse use DSSS is "ok", like Aironet. But for

DSSS may work, initially, but it doesn't take much for someone to screw
you up and take you offline.

Yes, if the corporate headquarters was connected to an ISP wireless, and
the user was roaming wireless, then the ISP could enable the mobile user
