The Wi-Fi revolution is coming, and if you are away on business it could be a useful tool for you.
Now if you hang out at the airport waiting for a long-haul flight you will see a new rush: A pre-boarding frenzy to download email.
"Wireless fidelity" is allowing an ever-increasing number of laptops and personal digital assistants (PDA) to log on to the Internet with broadband speeds -- cable-free -- in airports, VIP lounges, planes and hotels worldwide.
Do you have a Wi-Fi -- 802.11b -- network card or Intel Corp.'s Centrino mobile tech for your machine?
Then you have access to the Web -- that is if you happen to be in the right place, known as a hot spot. And if you're lucky, it could even be free.
High-speed and short-range, this type of radio technology is making the worldwide Web the world's wireless Web for out-of-office execs.
The momentum for Wi-Fi is beginning to reach a critical mass in the travel industry with corporate travelers leading the way.
