Wi-Fi Spreading Fast But Lacks Profits

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wireless-fidelity-is-silly-jargon dept.

clapton_fan writes "The New York Times has a story that details the spread of wireless networks but says the concept has been short on profits thus far. Its growth is mainly attributable to homes and small businesses. Corporations are reluctant to embrace them because of security concerns. Meanwhile, Intel is planning to have every device that uses an Intel chip Wi-Fi enabled which will make it difficult for companies that sell Wi-Fi as an accessory to prosper."

    This article as viewed by the government: Intel is a terrorist! Intel is attempting to make WiFi easially accessable to terrorists to take down the internet, or should we say, cause a great amount of "cyber terrorism".
