Forget the sceptics. Wireless is here to stay - and it won't be what you expect. "There was a long list of reasons ten years ago for why the Web would never turn into something serious -- certainly not into something that could be used for secure business transactions. The same list of shortcomings is being attributed to WiFi today – security, scalability, reliability, business model, etc. Just like the Web, WiFi is grass roots, standards based, and very decentralized. Just like with the Web, there is no stopping WiFi from becoming mainstream." Not what you expect? Well - consider this, for example: a peer-to-peer global wireless network that does not require the intervention of any sort of internet access provider or centralized support in order to function. Try filtering that!
