Europe Vs. North America in WiFi growth.
r.future writes " InfoSync World and netstumbler.com have posted an interesting story that speculates about the financial growth of WiFi networks In Europe anD North America from 2003-2008. The story states: 'Insight Research's analysis of the WiFi industry, WiFi in North America and Europe: Telecommunications' Future 2003-2008, suggests that wireless LAN technology - increasingly popping up in public spaces such as airports and cafes, in private residences, and in businesses - will grow faster in Europe than North America. Worldwide WiFi revenues are expected to grow from $7 billion USD in 2003 to over $44 billion USD by 2008, at a compounded annual rate of 44 percent.'"
Certainly in Belgium, the main ISP (ironically called "Skynet")
How exactly is that ironic?
It is interesting to note that the World Economics Forum recently identified Finland as being the most competitive country in the world from a business perspective
Dont worry, Finland can soon expect to be 'liberated' from their cruel and oppressive competitive overlords.
Your question will be ironic when you, despite being SupaMega, go the way of the rest of the buffalo when SkyNet becomes aware and starts with the Terminators.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Considering that Europe is light years ahead of the US in wireless phone ownership. When a 'study' reports that Europe will lead the US in WiFi deployment, all I can say is
No Duh!
It's because you called SF 'Frisco'. We automatically overcharge people that refer to our town as 'Frisco' *shudder*.
For a short period from 1944 to 1945 when they had a major land war going across them?
