people can actually turn on their appliances while at work. While all of this sounds wonderful, what would the future for Philly
be in such a scenario? Is there a future for Wi-Fi or is this basically another technological gizmo in terms of what can be accomplished, but something that will cost
the city millions, possibly billions of dollars? The Definitions Wi-Fi, in its most basic form, is defined as a wireless mesh that
is a type of networking technology (Asbrand, 2004). Rather than connecting users to the Internet through either cable or a telephone line, users can rely on Internet connections through PDAs
and laptops (Asbrand, 2004). Basically, Wi-Fi is communicated via radio waves (and with use of fixed access points), with an average range being about 50 meters (Asbrand, 2004). Wi-Fi can
be found in a variety of locations, ranging from coffee houses, and even campgrounds (Asbrand, 2004). Wi-Fis rely on Ethernets when it
comes to transmitting data, and the Ethernet, in it most basic form, is a LAN developed by Xerox in connection with DEC and Intel back during the 1970s (Webopedia.com, 2004).
Ethernet specs have served as the basis for IEEE 802.e standard (which determines the physical and lower software layers) (Webopedia.com, 2004). Ethernet, basically, transmits data across the air waves in
