For someone whose company is known for making and improving processors, Intel CEO Craig Barrett sounded striking like a networking boss.
During a keynote address late Thursday at the Consumer Electronics Show here, Barrett stumped for the versatility and wide accessibility that wireless networking provides consumers while managing to plug products using his company's chips remain a significant part of the networking food chain.
"What's at the center of the network? I don't think there is a center," Barrett said.
