to 300 metres at 11Mbs. Above that and it drops significantly as far as
1Mbs. Still very useable though even at 1Mbs.
I looked into this technology when looking into PocketPCs such as the
Jornada and iPaq, which I reckon will benefit most from the technology.

On Chorus, we have been pushing them on when Powernet is going to be
available, but from being told once upon a time that it was available, it
now seems that it won't be available for yonks. This seems to work by
beaming your signal with a mini dish. Whether it requires line of sight I
dunno.

The 802.11b would be a serious hack risk if you were beaming around the city
I would think. I mean couldn't you just listen out with your laptop for a
signal and try and latch on? I suppose with a decent firewall, etc its no
different to anything connected to the Internet.
