802.11g... It's Official

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the why-can't-we-all-get-along dept.

JoeBuck writes "This article in CommsDesign reports that the IEEE has officially approved the IEEE 802.11g standard, as well as another standard (802.15.3) for shorter-range, very-low-power operation. Two other standards designed to improve compatibility between different vendors' access points were also approved."

    The only remaining question regarding 802.11g: what are the marketroids going to call it? Super-Wi-Fi? Ultra Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi II? X-Fi?

    Headphones, and remote controls don't really need IP's as someone else pointed out.

    Hi, we're from the Slashdot Geekness Enforcement Group. We've determined that your inability to see the rationale for IP connectivity to headphones and remote controls violates our standards. We've even recieved some complaints that this attitude "goes against the GPL" and helps to enforce "MPAA/RIAA restrictions on content use".

    Please turn in your Slashdot ID by the end of the day, otherwise we'll be forced to blog you into oblivion. Thanks.
