A Bluetooth-like Wi-Fi device for serial connections: Perhaps they didn't get the memo, but OTC Wireless is introducing late this year a Wi-Fi serial replacement. Ostensibly, you plug the Wi-Fi device in on one end, although the article makes it send like you might need to attach one to either end. No pricing is noted. The company says zero configuration, so what happens when you have two of these devices running? A Bluetooth serial adapter would solve the same problem more gracefully, but doesn't come with the distance (perhaps ever) or ubuiquity (yet).

Wired. The government says that the failure of Digital TV to deploy will result in an $18 b budgetary shortfall. They cite a slow roll-out as the cause. This begs the question: why should all of this bandwidth be wasted on DTV at all? Only a small segment of the US, uses broadcast signals at all. Additionally, it's likely that the TV industry will claim poverty when it comes time to pay for the licenses. So, let's cut our loses on this and make this open bandwidth. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
