There was a great article in the Globe a week or so ago saying that basically there was no evidence whatsoever to support the story which had grabbed the headlines around the continent. An RCMP officer was quoted as saying he was amazed at the press the story had received and speculated that it must have been a slow week at the Whitehouse.

Apple announces support for 802.11g as AirPort Extreme: Apple announced today that they would be offering 54 Mbps 802.11g draft standard support in their new AirPort Extreme products, which include a new card (with a new form factor, thus not working with older Macs) and a new Base Station. Although CEO Steve Jobs said that 802.11g was a standard, as readers of this site know, the IEEE won't ratify 802.11g until fall 2003 at earliest, and the Wi-Fi Alliance's plans to create certification for draft g devices is entirely unknown.
