The Future of Wireless Connectivity

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the faster-is-better dept.

Unimonomous writes "CoolTechZone.com analyzes the future of wireless connectivity with WiMax standard. "WiMax is an upgrade from Wi-Fi and offers brilliant advantages over its predecessor. The obvious one being extended range (up to 15 miles), which means that establishing a few towers would pretty much make the entire city connected. Now this probably won't matter to those of us with 24/7 connectivity, but people living in rural and undeveloped areas would surely benefit from it." Update looks like the site buckled. Sorry.

      Arguing about vi versus Emacs is like arguing whether it's better to make fire by rubbing sticks or banging rocks.

    And when the aliens invade, it'll make it that much easier to cut off our communication.

    Think about it for a moment.

    The submitting author said that it probably won't matter to those of us with 24x7 connectivity. So people like you and me, who have 24x7 connectivity over wireless already, clearly won't be affected by things like equipment changes or pricing. You ovbiously have nothing to worry about. :)
