Hi Geoff, > - anyone actually uses this wireless stuff
Right now (sitting on a cliff top overlooking a national park, about 50 metres from the house and wireless access point). Tokyo's Narita airport has a great set-up so you can email/IM/surf while waiting for your flight, and quite a few coffee shops in New York and Washington have wireless and a better environment than most of the internet cafes. I haven't seen many people taking advantage of it though (uber geeks excepted). You can find hotspots in Sydney at http://www.nodedb.com/australia/nsw/sydney/ http://www.sydneywireless.com/ > I'm looking at setting up a wireless access point for the Keynote > theatre at the MXDU Conference. This would effectively let anyone in > the audience access the net from a suitable laptop/PocketPC etc during > the sessions themselves. Range and speed can be affected by interference (audio systems, video transmitters, wiring in the walls and the like - hearing impaired loops might be another cause of interference.) While inside will be fine, this might reduce the range/speed for those connecting outside the theatre (grabbing email etc). Also, don't forget your charger. I've noticed (depending on wireless use) up to double battery consumption.
