Billings, MT | Wi-Fi Offload Rising Amid Soaring Data Traffic No kidding. Why upgrade our pipes when we can feed it through our customers' WiFi connection.
..or is it we'll charge the customers more if they used their wireless service as intended instead of using their WiFi connection. |

kudos:7 | 60GHz wireless... quote:
Wireless networks will soon get a big boost in speed.
A new standard supporting the 60 GHz band is coming next year and it will allow wireless networks to be much faster than those that run on today's current 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
Not mentioned in the article is the difficulty 60GHz has penetrating a wet kleenex, let alone a wall. |

The only thing this would really work well for is for wireless connectivity in a home theater system where all the components are within a dozen feet of each other in the same room. Home theater would be a great place for this. especially if they can setup some kind of pairing system like what we have with Bluetooth. while HDMI is pretty idiot proof, once you bring about home theater it gets interesting.
My thought is that in a perfect ecosystem, the media player for example (DVD, Blu-Ray, Streams, local storage media files) could be purchased. The surround receiver now becomes more of a "Home Media Commander" that all the other devices talk to and is itself still hardwired to the TVset. But when a new device is purchased you push a pairing button on the front of the "commander unit" and one on the new toy, they synch up and that is it you are done. the two devices would exchange info and if going into a source menu the device's actual name would show up(say "Sony Playstation 4" for example). making life easier on users.
Computers we could see benefits too by getting rid of that thick video cable completely and only needing the power cord. would also allow the adding of a second monitor at will or even letting the PC talk to the TV across the room(or my above envisioned command unit.)
