802.11b or WiFi is more or less to computing networks as cordless phones are to regular phones. My point being that just because we have cordless phones in our homes doesn't mean our need for cell phones go away. Sure, there will (eventually) by "hotspots" in airports, starbucks, University Campuses, Coporate Campuses, but I don't think this will replace 2.5G and 3G data services.

What do y'all think about 802.11a? I hear it is stronger, faster, and more dependable. Also it is not prone to interfere with satellite radio, which is growing. I'm considering an investment in a 802.11a company, and I'd like to hear someone with more techie knowledge comment.
