Hi DNS,

I doubt UWB will replace the shipping .11b and .11a WLANs, but it has fine applicability where client power consumption is paramount. Note that UWB still trades off rate and range, just on the lower end of the bits/sec/Hz scale. The article on BE Labs implies they sent DVDs (~10Mbps) to 100 meters.

IEEE Study Group 802.15.3a is looking at 100Mbps at 10 meters ieee802.org
but the same technology could go farther, slower... I'd hazard a guess that the Y2K 50Mbps at 10 meter designs could do what BE claims, and Moore's law keeps moving the goalposts [both for LANs and PANs]. Whether the regulators move the goalposts is another story...
