802.11g Demonstrates White Lies of Wi-Fi | |

When is a 17-inch monitor not a 17-inch monitor or a 30GB hard disk not a 30GB hard disk? When you actually use them. Following the outcry over misleading vendor statistics, monitor and hard disk manufacturers began modifying their measurement of screen size and hard disk capacity to include such qualifiers as "usable" screen space and "formatted" capacity. The move was a positive one because it allows users to compare apples to apples. However, this truth in advertising doesn't exist in the land of wireless networks, where a consumer or hapless small business owner would be left in a quandary over which networks can travel at which speeds—that is, once they've figured out the other pressing issues of compatibility and range. | ||
