World Radiocommunications Group OKs New WLAN Spectrum

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the look-ma-no-wires dept.

BenFranske writes "The World Radiocommunications Conference will allow a portion of spectrum in the 5GHz band to be used for WLANs, a decision hailed as a 'defining moment' for the WLAN industry. Although this doesn't impact the US much as this spectrum is already being used for wireless networking here, this will help standardize the frequencies worldwide."

    ..But that's not very Rock'n'Roll! That's exactly what I thought about Linux some years ago. I was a die hard HP-UX admin and I still am a HP-UX admin (also know Solaris quite well). I thought Linux was OK, but it could never be compared to HP-UX. WELL THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

    I NOW WILLINGLY ADMIT THAT LINUX IS THE FUTURE! ..And I kinda feel pretty excited about it! Nobody know exactly where this all leads in near future, but if you don't jump in now, you'll lose it soon.
