My friend Matt beat me to the punch on this one. According to the NYTimes, the DoD is looking to regulate WLANs, as they might interfere with military weapons and comms systems.. Great, that's all we need - take the one Next Big Thing that tech has produced in the last two years and kill it in the name of Defense. I'm with Matt - if the DoD can't work around 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz, then we're in real trouble. 7:56:15 AM

Sharp piggybacks WLAN for PDA voice service. Cool [The Register] I really think this is the architecture for the future. WLAN is the perfect last mile connection, and why not pipe voice *and* data through it? Cable companies and telcos should be slugging it out to offer the best neighborhood WLAN possible if they want to be the transport for the future. And, they won't have to dig up our streets again. 7:37:46 AM
