Comment Forget new dangly bits, just make it cheaper. (Score 1) 93
These new, bigger, better, uncut devices are all very well but they do not meet a growing need: A WLAN device that costs the same as a modem.
What we the people need is a WLAN device that can communicate with other WLAN devices in the neighbourhood, so making the internet more independent of local telecoms authorities. With parallel routing the bandwidth could be huge.
It is still cheaper for me to buy 2 NE2000 clones and a 100m of cable than one single WLAN card. Until this changes we will never break the grip of the telcos, and will forever remain subject to the whims of the governments that they support.
