A decade ago, I first wrote that people moved, and networks needed to adapt to the
reality that people worked on the go. Of course, in those days, wireless LANs came
with a trade-off. Yes, you could use them while moving, but you had to trade a great
deal of throughput to get the mobility. Although it was possible to get bits anywhere,
even while in motion, those bits came slower. As one of the network engineers I worked
with put it, “We’ve installed switched gigabit Ethernet everywhere on campus, so I
don’t understand why you’d want to go back to what is a 25-Megabit hub.” He un-
derestimated the allure of working on the go.
