Hi Thomas,

More than experiments, the WI-FI certified 802.11b wireless solution
is fast becoming a standard feature in laptops. But lot of issues
remain.

Yes. I don't think there are that many 802.11b public access points
yet for the road warriors to give up conventional modes. Specially in
our neck of the woods, these may be nonexistent.

That's even more discouraging for countries like mine, that follow
your footsteps. :( The prospect for broadband seems ever so far...

But I'm surprised that Thailand is still resorting to DUN. Why hasn't
broadband diffused into BKK from Singapore and Malaysia?
