Wireless under the radar

Most of my work in the past few months has been writing about wireless data technology. I also have an article coming up in the next issue of LINK magazine covering the various ways of connecting computers and handheld devices without wires.

There are a number of different technologies for doing that. The ones the cellular phone providers want you to think about, of course, use the cellular telephone network. But quite a few companies and individuals are creating their own wireless networks for general use, and it will be interesting to see who wins in the end.

Or you could blow really big bucks and get satellite access that even works on a moving boat.
