Wireless Year in Review

Posted by Hemos on from the blast-from-the-past dept.

Irish writes "The wireless world had some surprises last year. WLANs, with easy but unsecure bandwidth, may disrupt the adoption of regulated/limited 3G networks. DoCoMo's iMode surprised many gaining 27 million users while Europe was disappointing. This developerWorks article takes a look at the big wireless security stories of 2001 and tries to offer some predictions on the future."

    On the Hardy toll road in Houston, I was able to connect to eight wireless APs at 70 MPH (so read the log when I reached my destination). Three even went so far as to assign IP addresses via DHCP.

    I would suppose that says something about wireless security. :p
