I was never a fan of wireless as compared to the wireline. Although, it has taken a lot of effort to connect to my original owned Broadcom chip; I was hooked on to the wireless right from the word go; ever since I realised the potential. I still feel that a large number of people trying to connect to the wireless would detiorate it’s quailty; still for home use it’s a damn good option.
Broadcom never ever designed it’s chips to work with linux in general. It took a lot of effort to make it work; I had to download and install the drivers, search up forums and pair the router to the modem. It was a concerted effort that lasted well over a period of 3 days….every effort was worth it for sure.
I am typing this out as a You tube video streams out to my laptop. I would looking forward to get a phone that supports Wifi and check out what the fuss about the Opera Mini is all about i.e. surf wirelessly on another handset. It’s all about connectivity. Maybe a phone that installs Skype and I could use the Wifi connection to connect to people around the world. The possibilites have opened up.
Its a dream come true; finally managed to have something that people around the world did. Its a long way off the mark but then imagine when the world opens up at the fingertips for those who have never been able to do so otherwise earlier on. Thats the power of pervasive Internet and that is something I want for all. I hope that this utopian dream comes true.
