Rodent Regatta

When I read the article that Glenn pointed to it dawned on me that the author never mentioned the ulimtate connectivity to the bandwidth that put the wireless network on the Internet. If fact, he used this statement:

...an inelegant picture-frame sized antenna is now radiating the Internet over a 20-block area.

Wireless end-to-end is not here yet. Within every wireless Internet solution is some long-haul connection that is wired for some portion of the travel. Physics along with cost-effectiveness demands this.
