POPSWireless at Fiber Speeds Richard Ridgway, a senior researcher at Battelle, says that the technique could be used to send huge files across college campuses, to quickly set up emergency networks in a disaster, and even to stream uncompressed high-definition video from a computer or set-top box to a display.

POPSWiMax Revival Intel has a big stake in making WiMax happen. It was one of the great beneficiaries of WiFi -- and CEO Paul Otellini would like to see a replay of those happy days with WiFi. But there's lots more competition these days -- not to mention all the jostling going on over the FCC spectrum auction. Is it worth $2 billion to Intel to try to jump start WiMax? Probably so.

POPSCisco Invests In WiMax I get chided by coworkers for my boosterish attitude towards WiMax, the next-generation city-wide wireless protocol. But it's cool stuff: When these networks are installed, providers will be able to beam a broadband data signal over an entire city, and users will be able to get online wirelessly anywhere, any time. Problem is I've been pointing that out for about three years, and not much has happened. But the fact that Cisco is now dropping $330 million on the technology provides a lot of validation. Wimax is real, and it's coming, and it's cool.

POPSGoogle + Sprint = WiMax Online This technology seems to be based on a chip whose functionality resembles your mobile SIM card. "Google, which has been pushing the idea that a fully functional computer is one that is always connected to the Internet, has been developing mobile versions of its Web-based products, including e-mail, calendar and documents."

POPSWorld's Thinnest Laptop from Intel Hmmm... This is also in the cooking for heavily rumored Mac Subnotebook - or I call it MiniBook. This gave a strong sign that the rumor may comes to reality. Intel is targeting end of the year, so I guess Apple will launch it ahead. I would say September 2007 the latest?

POPSTelecom Italia, Samsung sign agreement for WiBro trials Another trial to observe, Wibro is starting big in Korea, and is possible to be THE leading technology, to enable high-speed wireless connection while being mobile and in wide range. Actually it is less interesting whether Wibro will be the key technology or Wimax, it is more interesting to see, in my mind, the behavior of users when they have high-speed Internet connection, and the new business developed to take advantage of such system.
