As municipal wide wireless gets implemented and new standards for wireless get put in pace, new devices will allow megabit voice and data. I just listened to a podcast from AttentTrust on Wi-Max: http://attentiontech.podshow.com/?p=17 It looks like a new wireless standard will start coming out in 2006. And I think we'll begin to get standardized access to broadband on mobile devices that will do much that desktop systems can do. --Enric ------------------------ Yahoo!
