Wi-Fi has become the preferred means for connecting to the internet
- at home, in the office, in hotels and at airports. Increasingly,
Wi-Fi also provides internet access for remote communities where it
is deployed by volunteers in community-based networks, by operators
in 'hotspots' and by municipalities in 'hotzones'. This book traces
the global success of Wi-Fi to the landmark change in radio
spectrum policy by the US FCC in 1985, the initiative by NCR
Corporation to start development of Wireless-LANs and the drive for
an open standard IEEE 802.11, released in 1997. It also singles out
and explains the significance of the initiative by Steve Jobs at
Apple to include Wireless-LAN in the iBook, which moved the product
from the early adopters to the mass market. The book explains these
developments through first-hand accounts by industry practitioners
and concludes with reflections and implications for government
policy and firm strategy.
