Mikka, 100 Mbs Fast ethernet card is in $50 to $75 range, a port on a switch is dropping below $100, or a fraction of it on a hub. There is no air time for you to pay for. You only pay for traffic going out of your office to Internet. If you typical office has 50 people, a shared network connection will always be far cheaper than if every employee had to have a wireless account with the ISP. I don't know about Finland, but in the US, just about every office has a LAN. Some are still regular Ethernet (10 Mbs), but nobody buys regular Ethernet cards anymore. The 100 Mbps quoted is within an office environment used by many (hundreds?) of people. It depends on your network. As I mentioned, switches are getting cheap ($100 per port) to the point that you can have every user on a switch, which makes the bandwidth between you and the switch dedicated to you. Switches used to be expensive, so a on lot of existing networks users share the bandwidth. Within 3 years standards based will be around 25 Mbps. Within 3 years, desktop users will switching from 100 Mbs to 1,000 MBs. Joe
