Wi-Fi, Linux, And VoIP In Canada

Posted by timothy on from the not-just-in-africa dept.

WEFUNK writes "Canadian Business magazine has a cover story promoting Wi-Fi, VoIP, and Linux as 'Stuff that Works: 3 hot technologies that live up to their hype.' The article goes on to describe a number of Canadian success stories, ranging from Spotnik Mobile's growing network of Wi-Fi hotspots to the Canadian National Railway's use of Linux since 1993, and quantifies the benefits of VoIP to a Canadian insurance company's call centre. The article also includes some shipment numbers for Linux servers in Canada, mentions the growing number of Linux apps, and nicely downplays the SCO debacle."

    I didn't know Canadians had heard about Linux yet. Thats nice to know that a good 100% American product like Linux has managed to drift North of the border and actually gain an Arctic foothold.

    Canadians may be on top of the map, but they certainly define "bottom feeder" dont they?

    I'm not trying to flame or incite flames, just trying to stay on topic and spread some truth where I can.
