Junk journalism based on junk science:

Jeeze, I'd like to be allergic to electromagnetic fields. 3% of the population can sense 2.4 ghz? YEAH, RighT!

LOL, fail spelling!

An additional 100mm people, or 35% of the population, are estimated to be moderately electrically sensitive

What! Will the American guys here have wireless internet acces everywhere or is this also fantasy?

just to be ironic. gets all read that page from our computers, connected to the internet from a wireless network running at 2.4Ghz

Europe has way better coverage of wireless internet. UMTS/LTE is the future. Wifi is nice for in your home or business, but useless for covering metropolitan areas (there aren't enough frequencies.)

4G wireless will be out over here soon; WiMAX. It has been released in a few markets so far but not nationwide. I read somewhere a tester was getting 12 meg downloads off an aircard and 1.5 meg uploads, in Portland OR.

WiMAX is dead. Even Verizon is dropping it.

I'm posting via sprint's 60$ a month wireless internet as I'm too far out for DSL and cable modem around here would be about 200$ a month. I dont watch enough TV to justify cable. I don't know or care about the 1.9 Ghz protocol I'm on, but its damn fast. I belive its CDMA2000, but I'm not sure, but I have coverage over most of the nation even when mobile. I have the older PCI card, not the new usb low power joke.

If I were in downtown Cleveland or Akron, I could get short range wireless for free thanks to Case Western university or the Knight Foundation.

Within a year the switchover from analog to digital tv should be completed. Once all markets are compliant, the FCC will start distribute licenses to the radio bands they previously used. I am sure wireless will propagate in a portion of this. These frequencies naturally travel a greater distance at less power output. This will greatly improve the performance of wireless internet systems.
