WiMax
A thousand IT execs are pulling their teeth out with rusty pliers to try to displace the pain that comes with trying to get a new wireless standard ratified by the trillions of interested commercial parties. Namely, 802.16 - or WiMax to give it its on-screen title. Tabloid coverage talks about 75Mbps access blanketing entire 30-mile regions. Realistically, more like 2Mbps over three miles but that's still exciting, and the first WiMax laptop cards might be around by April.
