Quote: "Now I understand the power and freedom that wireless makes possible. Wireless, however, is far from new to me; for two years I have used it at home. I have a Macintosh PowerBook with a wireless card and an Apple Airport base station connected to my DSL service. I can roam just about anywhere on my quarter-acre lot while happily surfing the net. But what I never experienced until Atlanta was the freedom of connecting out in the wide world, without paying a dime."
Comment: This article opens up the concept of Warchalking...see also new fad. Wireless will be huge...it will happen quickly...and it will create many concerns for service providers. Setting that aside - the benefit of wireless is the freedom it provides. In a sense, the full potential of the Internet is realized in wireless - anytime, anywhere.
