"With Bluetooth, or something similar, isn't that revenue source almost completely marginalized? " I agree.. For instance.. In my home.. I use my PDA, and G4 Titanium laptop via 802.11.. Works great.. Anyone walking down my street is welcome to a free login on my wireless network. I went to a convention recently in Las Vegas.. A number of Booths offered free net access via 802.11 connections.. Airports are starting to install 802.11 connections, soon shopping malls, Starbucks coffe houses, etc will offer 802.11 anonymous connections. Someday you may need a GPRS or CDMA data connection like you need a Globalstar phone.. And with 802.11g.. You will see 20Mbs throughput.. And even though everyone (IEEE) walked away from Orlando without a consensus on specifications to be used on chipsets.. (But TI's proposal got taken out). Leaving Intersil's OFDM proposal as the last standing without a "back to the drawing board" approach. This stuff is too political.. As usual.. PCSTEL
