Looking back at these two years of the Wi-Fi revolution, it is striking how many areas this technology touches. It should be no surprise that people start to think of it as a solution for everything. I'm reading magazine articles that sales of equipment is growing fast, and at the same time that "WLAN is a failure" just because some hotspot operator failed to attract paying subscribers. Yesterday, the U.S. supreme court hearings started in the case Eldred v. Ashcroft and guess what - the Yale law school has a weblog, where they write: PS. This blogging brought to you via 802.11b equipped PDA (please excuse typos, etc.) and warchalked wireless access point, somewhere in the vicinity of the Supreme Court building (thanks warchalkers!) http://research.yale.edu/lawmeme/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=392 This week I hosted the WLAN session of the annual conference of the Swedish chapter of ISOC, and had four speakers, talking about - Antenna technology for point-to-point links - Effects on the human body of radio and microwave radiation - Security issues and encryption - Small rural communities using Wi-Fi links for broadband In my introduction I had to apologize that we didn't have time for speakers on 5-6 other areas (e.g. ongoing standardization, commercial hotspot operators, management of large corporate WLANs, sniffing tools, mesh networks, trends and hypes like warchalking). -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik Teknikringen 1e, SE-583 30 Linuxk�ping, Sweden tel +46-70-7891609 http://aronsson.se/ http://elektrosmog.nu/ http://susning.nu/ -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
