2009 - RoamAD assets sold to xiocom.com which is continuing to develop wifi based on RoamAD's developments. RoamAD failed to make a profit and failed even to cover costs and lost a lot of money over during the first part of the 21st century. Game Over....

For the record:
===================================================================================================
RoamAD is an unlisted startup New Zealand company, which has developed technology to enable metropolitan areas to be covered with WiFi 802.11b [and upgrades] to give mobile internet access without disconnection while enjoying high data rates at low cost.

I've used it. It works. I also bought shares in the company.

See roamad.com

QUALCOMM genuflects to WiFi by including 802.11b in their technology: Message 18112728

Lucent is also working on it. They've got a swanky new handoff system between 802.11b and cdma2000 1xEV-DO.

Intel has been pushing WiFi via their Centrino chip.

WiFi momentum has built up greatly over the past couple of years. PDA devices with WiFi are becoming common. skype.com enables VOIP via WiFi, plus instant message servies.
