Wi-Lan News Wi-Lan seems to be moving out of the chasm and now its tech can reach anywhere in North America and much of the rest of the world. Some background: Wi-Lan has slowly been moving out of the chasm here. This is the wireless broadband company that owns W-OFDM, a technology which allows more than 50 mbps and out-of-sight wireless. It seems to be the only current here-and-now technology which allows mobile broadband access at such speeds. MSFT recently endorsed an OFDM standard, which we'll be hearing more about. Thursday, we got some important news that allows Wi-Lan's broadband wireless solution to reach anywhere in North America and Europe. biz.yahoo.com It now depends on sales, partnerships, etc. But this technology has the potential to one-up fiber.

<<One of the challenges with speech recognition is physical. Not to mention the problem of an office full of people chattering away at their computer and each other.>> I graduated law school in 1988 and went to work for a firm comprised mostly of lawyers who were computer illiterate. Most of them still are. In each office was an attorney sitting at his/her desk, dictating his/her work. The concept of an office filled with people "chattering away" is neither problematic nor unusual, IMO.
