Wireless broadband provider SkyNetGlobal has forged a strategic alliance with Australian clearinghouse for wireless Internet networks, Hotspot Global, to create a common platform for WiFi roaming in anticipation of WiFi-enabled mobile phones.
Texas Instruments has developed a Wi-Fi chip small enough to go inside mobile phones and handheld devices.
Third-generation mobile technology has arrived, duly accompanied by a barrage of hype. But the industry is already casting its eyes forward to the next big thing - 4G.
Motorola and NEC America are co-developing an Internet Protocol office telephone that roams from Wi-Fi onto cell phone networks, the companies announced Tuesday.
Carriers have barely rolled out their new third-generation wireless networks, and they're already talking about the fourth generation, which could offer affordable high-speed Internet access for consumer electronics devices on the go.
Internode has no incentive to provide free access to its Wi-Fi networks for any reason at all, apart from genuine love, and maybe the joy of finding a new way to flip Telstra the bird.
A few weeks ago, I was in Shanghai, at the Intel Developers Forum. Intel was keen to show off what it hopes will be the bridging device between high-end mobiles and laptops: the mobile Internet device or MID. Intel was showing off a lot of interesting things at the conference. The MID, sadly, was not one of them.
The world of speculative telecommunications investments has quieted down considerably since the beginning of the decade, when hype-fuelled carriers plunked down billions to reserve the right to carry mobile phone calls, video calls, and massive volumes of spam at high speed using then-fanciful 3G mobile technology.
Is Apple keeping the iPod Touch and iPhone platform closed to third party developers to protect its impressive record on security?
Wireless broadband provider SkyNetGlobal has forged a strategic alliance with Australian clearinghouse for wireless Internet networks, Hotspot Global, to create a common platform for WiFi roaming in anticipation of WiFi-enabled mobile phones.
New wireless networking chips for handheld devices are giving second life to the 802.11b standard and could soon test the theory that Wi-Fi and mobile data services can work hand in hand rather than compete.
Mesh technology allows new wireless networks to be created, or existing WLANs to be extended, without needing a wired connection to each base station. Additional reading: WLAN Resource Centre
The standard known as 802.11b or Wi-Fi is disruptive, certainly if you've invested any time, money and effort in 3G. But there is always something potentially superior around the corner.
If you're out on the road a lot, you want a notebook that won't give you a sore shoulder at the end of the day, but you may not want to give up all the features of a full-sized notebook. Can you have both?

So close yet so far: the feature-packed W960i smartphone stands out on paper but is held back by a clunky processor and a laggy interface.
Already a hit in millions of homes and businesses, the wireless technology known as Wi-Fi is being used to extend the capabilities of mobile phones and personal digital assistants.
