If I had a dime for every "WiFi Gridlock" article over the last 4 years, id be a very rich man.
Even if every house was beaconing out on my street, we have a few other things to keep us in check: Usage ratios -- residential usage is very low ... Those DSL users:bandwidth ratios work all the way down the line into the homefront too. Not everyone is streaming 6mbps porn on all 3 channels to their laptop walking around the house at the same exact moment. Local bandwidth vs WAN bandwidth -- Most broadband users can barely pull a meg off the wire Crappy radio sensitivity, poor interhome propagation, and power output -- If no one is there to hear the tree falling in the woods, who cares if it makes a sound. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Pozar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 5:47 PM To: wireless list Subject: [BAWUG] Urban Wi-Fi Gridlock Predicted To Arrive in 2004 http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20031024S0011 Urban Wi-Fi Gridlock Predicted To Arrive in 2004 -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
