Wi-Fi Warsailing In The Netherlands

Roland writes "The first war-sailing event ever, AFAIK. A community based WiFi network in Leiden, the Netherlands, WirelessLeiden hold a warsailing event [Dutch links]. The war-sailing event was meant to show that WirelessLeiden is more than just a local city network. On this map you can see that 75% of the route was covered by WirelessLeiden. Vic Hayes, the Father of WiFi, was a keynote speaker during the war-sailing event. He gave a talk about how WiFi was developed. A couple of spin-offs gave presentations, namely AnyWi and KoGeRo. FYI: WirelessLeiden [English Link] has rolled out a free WiFi network covering almost the whole city of Leiden, 100.000 inhabitants, 49 nodes with 30 more to be build this year. This is the NodeMap of WirelessLeiden."

    So if Microsoft wanted to make another move in the enterprise market, it would have to content itself with a much smaller company. Brendan Barnicle, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities, said Siebel Systems (SEBL: Research, Estimates) could make some strategic sense.

    The company, which has a market value of about $5.7 billion and expected sales of $1.6 billion next year, would be a good fit, Barnicle said since Siebel already has a strong relationship with Microsoft. The company writes software for Microsoft's .Net platform.
