Although everyone blogged last week about Western Union's sending its last telegram (the New York Times only ran the story today), the real news is in Wi-Fi. Future Wi-Fi won't just mean you might be able to get rid of all those cables behind the t.v., it will mean having your wonderful Wi-Fi handset and jumping from one connection to another, which on an island as densely populated as Manhattan might actually mean better wireless service than with cell carriers. Or does that mean the cell carriers will become hybrid Wi-Fi carriers? Or since Google and Skype are backers of this service, does it mean everyone will run around with the UTStarcom making scrambled phone calls, trading MP3s, downloading annoying ringtones and making lots of noise at Starbucks?
Yep. That's exactly what it means.
