It seems that the NYT article is in error. The press release from Airgo says that their solution is based on the 802.11 standard, and "supports all 802.11 a, b, and g modes and also extends rates to 108 Mbps" . The qoute is from their press release which is here.
We're not talking about fossil fuel, we're talking about biomass fuel. Burnig biomass fuels do not increase the level of CO2 in the atmostphere and it is much easier to transport and store biomass derived fuels than hydrogen.
The energy per litre rating of hydrogen is often misused and misunderstood because it doesn't take into account the addiontal weight and/or volume of the storage system required. Since hydrogen has to be stored cyrogenically (typically very heavy) or under high pressure(large volume), the effective energy density of hydrogen isn't that impressive. With regards to the clean burning of methene and other biomass derived fuel, it should be noted that since the carbon in methene was in the atmosphere (before it was absorbed by plants), releasing back into the atmosphere as C02 represents part of a closed carbon cycle and would not necessarily contribute to the global warming. Admittedly there are other pollution issues associated with burning hydrocarbons, i.e. NOx, soot, etc., but most of them can be controlled, to a certain extent, by the controlling combustion conditions.
Hydrogen Peroxide, around 85% concentration. Note that this is not the 3% h2o2 available from the drug store. Usually it has to be bought in bulk and has an added expense in that is must be shipped as a hazardous material as it is a very potent oxidizer. Check out h2o2.org for info.

Small it is...uses the the same 1.8" drive used in the ipod, available in 20GB($165) and 40GB($253) capacities.
