>>>LAN Broadband Wireless Once it's here and now, it'll save a lot of money because desktops don't have to be hard-wired. And you can walk around the campus area with a laptop. A prime example of a standard in this sector is Bluetooth. Lot's of ideas being tossed around today and there appears to be no clear winner yet. Lots of systems are being rolled out today in the 1MB to 10MB range. But nothing appears to be dominating that I'm aware of.<<<

Don't forget the Apple/Lucent implementation of 802.11. That wireless LAN operates at 11Mbps and is actually in significant use as AirPort. It is more "real" than Bluetooth just now; is cheap ($300 for a base station, $100 for a Mac compatible wireless card); and will accommodate PC's as well as Macs using a PCard ($179).
