--12 Nov. 2002.  Report Encourages Government to Use Wireless Devices
A report from the IBM Endowment for the Business of Government
encourages government agencies to train their employees in wireless
technologies and provide them with wireless devices, like PDAs.
The report also warned that wireless security should be improved
before the technology is used between government and private citizens.

[Editor's Note (Murray): Not to fear.  The economies of wireless are
such that it will be used.  Connectivity trumps security every time;
get used to it.  Our readers should forget "wireless security" and
focus on end-to-end encryption.  There are many applications that I
can do from my laptop that I cannot do from my PDA because my PDA
browser does not support SSL.  Our readers cannot control the use
or the security of wireless but they can control the security of
their applications.]
