Thanks, Trudeau, but don't ask me to spell Rouauesseaouou, the father of even educating poor
girls like Emile (also enlightned buddy of Jefferson, but some problems with sexuality, earlier for
just one of them, now more mutual).

The quote, still alive and well in finland, is something like "sleeping in the same bed as an elephant",
some around here used to add "schizofrenic", "paranoid", etc,etc elephant.

Anyway, legally a "hotspot" might mean one or many 100m areas, and I am sure if just one is
installed, hooked up, and there are handsets available, there will be more WLAN bases tations fairly
soon.

The "funnny" thing is that as the density of WLAN stations and users increase, the problem of "connecting
them", avoiding interference, becomes more and more like a regular 3-4G network.

Which is why, IMO, "both" are needed,

Repeating some additional local stuff

- one popular guy pointed out that the 3G cost of UK and germany could have been used to drop
one WLAN base station for every 100meter in both license areas, from 2-3 airplanes, in just one year, even
without trying to avoid any lakes nor most of the surrounding atlantic.

- another asked what would be the cost of hooking them up??

- the local WLAN IP provider run into stuff like the 11Mbps-for-free kids starting using 1 meter satellite parabolas with
yagi antennas as "microheads" to get just a little "better signal", lesser packet loss than the neighbor kid, end
result seem to be that the lost packets are just bounced higher and higher all over the sky and ether.
(works great for 3-10 users, but not for 100-500, when the business might start producing positive
cashflow)

- european terrestrial digital TV is standardized to use both FSK, QAM and OFDMA, another
factor in the whole wireless ether.

That is, someone just have to "connect" them all.
