If that had not happened, we would probably not have had an 11n standard this year.

It will be ubiquitous and a monster opportunity.

Working with multiple data inputs presents significant engineering challenges, and the engineers who developed MIMO did a remarkable job addressing them.

There is a lot of debate right now about who will have the right approach,

The data pricing trend is downward. We're expecting unlimited wireless broadband services in the $35-$45 range in the next year or so. There will always be a premium for wireless, but the objective is to get to the same price point as wired.

It's a very good question. The whole process has definitely gotten more political over the years. The technology used in this standard is the future of wireless (local area networks). It's very important for companies involved to get their market positioning up-front and establish themselves as players as soon as possible.

Clearly Microsoft needs to add this piece - mobile access is a huge part of their new .Net initiative.
