Follow the money ...

When I look at what IT professionals have on their plate, I see a good dish of broadband wireless. Many, however, may think the coverage is lacking or the technology is premature. But don't rest on that theory too long. The Computer & Communications Industry Association, a trade group consisting of the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo, spent $130,000 in the first six months to lobby the federal government for more radio spectrum for wireless high-speed Internet. They are even looking to grab unused television spectrum for broadband access.
