And for you bigger/better/faster/more fans, there's 802.16a.
Originally intended for mid-haul, it's going to become so inexpensive
that us home users will be able to afford it directly.  802.16a is 70
Mbps, with a 31 mile range.

[*] mid-haul = the linkage that comes before the "last mile".
ISP <-> 802.16a WAP <-> numerous 802.11 WAPs in homes.

And what size antenna would you need for this "31 mile range"? I can see it
now, scads of petitions before the city council to erect towers.....
