This article adds a quite interesting aspect to hot spot debate. Check it out and marvel! Reality or fiction?
"I've always thought there was something just a little wrong with the plan to bring Wi-Fi to the world though, and it's all about the size of the wireless network. The 300-foot range is just too small. When I hear 802.11 fans talk about how the hotspot size is "perfect for networking" I remember being told that 64K of memory and 5MB hard drives were "perfect" for computers. I didn't buy it then. I don't buy it now. ... Well it was a dream until I sat down with my new best friends at a new company, Vivato, and got a first-look briefing about their new Wi-Fi technology that has a range of 7 kilometers. This raises the Wi-Fi range from 300 feet to nearly 23,000 feet (or 4.3 miles)!"
