  1. 802.11b vs 802.11a by sourcehunter · · Score: 2, Offtopic
    I'd assume (just based on the name) that 802.11a came out BEFORE b, Why did 802.11a NOT catch on and 802.11b did?

    Anyone?

    I had the fourth (or so) comment under this story, and the first one about range. How is this redundant?
