wi-fi 'pre n'(?) devices on sale...

CNN.com - Confusion over next generation Wi-Fi - Jun 7, 2005

well, companies are at it already, and the specs haven't even been finalized (and prolly won't be for like a year).

the wi-fi alliance hasn't even ratified the new 802.11n standard, but already, scandalous companies are releasing 'pre n' and such products, very misleading and confusing.

i guess some of these products are probably very cool, but since the standard isn't out yet, i think it's immoral to try and leverage the hype (as well as the ignorance of consumers). just hafta see, i guess.

Frequency Hopping--it's a good thing

theres a good page explaining frequency hopping here.

the new dsl -- let me at it

Technology News: Internet: New DSL Standard Promises 10 Times the Speed

the itu approved the Very-high-bitrate Digital Subscriber Line 2 (vdsl2) and it looks like good stuff.

supporting up to something like 100 megabit/second downs. which is good. that'd be enough bandwidth for such buzzword services as video-on-demand (vod), prolly in high def, video conferencing, and lightning fast access for games and browsing.

hmm... 100 mbps, eh? wonder where they'll cap it at? you can find some good info about dsl here.
