Just read two interesting articles on the last issue of of Fortune magazine. The firts one was about WI-Fi networks (IEEE 802.11 standard) and how companies are installing them and loving them. They are easy to use, increase efficiency and the are actually cheaper!. In the same issue there was an article about how Sony is coming up with products that are really ahead of their time and guess what, they all have wireless capabilities!!. Add to that that I think that wireless is going to be the way to cover the last mile and its a full package. (I know that Nicholas Negroponte already said that, but I came up with it independently!)
The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
