Rodent Regatta

A day is coming when we are completely untethered. Already, we visit offices where the mouse and the keyboard are no longer wired to the PC. The rise of Wi-Fi (wireless networks) that allow users to share high bandwidth connections to the Internet continues.

Yesterday, Cisco announced that they want to further the drive toward wireless devices connected to otherwise ”stupid networks.” Well, they didn’t quite say it that way, but the end game is getting clearer. Fiber optic pipes providing IP packets of voice, data and entertainment unencumbered by the legacy phone companies are the next wave. The technology and the pricing will be truly disruptive to traditional ways of thinking about where we buy communication services and Internet access.
