Re: IEEE 802.11 with 11b wins the PC Magazine Award in thecategory of Network Standards
Vic,
This is exciting news! I've sent a note to 802.16 reflector.
I would like to see this be widely publicized. I would be very
disappointed if IEEE Spectrum didn't mention it. [I see that IEEE
News Briefs does mention that 802.11 and 802.3ab are finalists,
though it has the numbers backwards
<http://www.ieee.org/newsinfo/briefs.htm>.]
Speaking of Spectrum, I have a letter in the current (November) issue
(page 14). It's about 802.16, and it says nice things about 802. If
you have an IEEE web account, you can find the letter at
<http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/spectrum/nov99/departments/foru.html>.
