"If WiFi is as good as Maurice believes, then we should be buying Intel, not QCOM." On the hope that not only 802.11b penetrates 90% of all future laptops but the chance 1 billion people around the world will carry them around? Why on earth would you state that? The problem is we still love our voice service. Rob's press releases on WiFuture coverage claims are troubled by a problem of diffraction past 2ghz rendering claims of 30 mile metro coverage to be sadly misguided. If OFDM is going to save Rob's universe, why is it that off-the-shelf 802.11a(OFDM) coverage through obstacles barely matches 802.11b (DSSS modulation)? Near-LineOfSight does nothing for me if it can't penetrate the public transportation vessel carrying me to my destination. (yeah, like you are ever going to catch me in a McDonalds)
