Gigabit Wi-Fi On the Horizon

alphadogg writes to mention that the same working group that brought you the standard for the 802.11n wireless communications is already poised to launch a gigabit Wi-Fi project. "Last year, group members formed the Very High Throughput (VHT) Study Group to explore changes to the 802.11 WLAN standard to support gigabit capacity. The study group is looking at doing so in two frequency bands, high-frequency 60GHz for relatively short ranges and under-6GHz for ranges similar to that of today's WLANs in the 5GHz band, 802.11a and 11n."

Yeah, too bad here in the states no carrier has the infrastructure to support Gigabit internet connections. I pay for 6 Megabit and they can't even deliver that. But this will be nice for parts of Asia and Europe...
