802.11's Maturity Propels WLAN Adoption
Frost & Sullivan has come out with a report that is useful to you only if you haven't been paying attention at all to the WiFi market over the past couple of years. Basically they say WiFi is catching on. The products have gotten cheaper, the standards are accepted, and people are buying. Then they take a real leap of faith and predict that over the next four years or so, people will gradually migrate from 802.11b to 802.11a and 802.11g products. Not really sure why they bothered putting out a report that pretty much states what everyone has come to expect already.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
