Wireless VoIP systems growing in popularity
Companies are increasingly beginning to find that wireless VoIP, integrated with wireless internet networks, possesses a large number of benefits. It is widely expected that such systems will be employed by an increasing number of businesses this year, with the advantages of a flexible and mobile VoIP network serving a number of locations including the simple fact that inter-office charges and long-distance call costs are eliminated. In such a network, handheld computers, laptops containing VoIP-enabled phones and devices such as two-way radios can all be linked and have benefits which are strategic and operational as well as financial not least because conference calls with clients and colleagues can take place from just about anywhere. A report by IDC bolstered this view recently, saying that the features themselves of wireless VoIP could end up overriding cost-effectiveness as a boon for businesses who adopt it as part of their modus operandi.

Travelers can get wireless Internet at BWI—
People traveling through B-W-I Thurgood Marshall Airport now can use a pay-as-you go wireless Internet service to stay connected. It's being offered now on concourses A and B. The service is expected to expand to Concourse D within two weeks. Concourses C and E are expected to have the service within two months. The wireless connection will cost seven-95 for one day of unlimited access, or 21-95 for a month. For now, the wireless signal will only reach travelers who have passed through security. Plans call for the signals to eventually reach the entire airport. By offering the service now, B-W-I beat Dulles International and Reagan National -- both of which are still installing their wireless systems. --- Information from: The (Annapolis, Md.)

New wireless network needs public airing
Imagine sitting or walking or taking a bus anywhere in Silicon Valley and seamlessly checking your e-mail, preparing a presentation, playing ``World of Warcraft,'' streaming the latest episode of ``Lost'' or researching a term paper. Imagine traffic lights synchronized wirelessly to streamline the flow of cars on valley streets. Imagine emergency medical technicians sending medical data on the victims of an accident to the hospital straight from the scene. Silicon Valley could have that ubiquitous wireless network -- with a base level of access free to the public -- within a couple of years, thanks to the vision of the community and business leaders behind the year-old Wireless Silicon Valley project. But to make it happen, the Wireless Silicon Valley team needs to stop its closed-door fussing over ``model'' legal agreements and design specs and start bringing their customers -- the public -- into the process.
