802.11x is great for around the house but is it time to look for another solution for hotspots. I usually don't give much attention to these things since most won't be seen for years but this is here and now thanks to a company IPWireless and the use of 3G technology.

It's kind of like Wi-Fi, but with a big, big difference.
"The big difference is the range. The range of 'free-air' of 802.11 is typically 1,000 feet. We have a maximum range in free-air of 29 kilometers," Gilbert says.
"Anywhere you go, anything you want to do on the Internet, or be connected with, is possible with this," IPWireless CEO Chris Gilbert says.
