While there has been ample talk of Wimax and 3G "killing" Wi-Fi in '06, that's largely investor-speak. According to JiWire, Wi-Fi service is available at 32,000 US locations; though 90 percent of them charge a fee. In '06, "Wi-Fi is going to be ubiquitous," says JiWire's CEO. "You’re going to see more municipal hot zones going from announcement to reality." Bids for San Fran's Wi-Fi project are due by February 21. And just maybe one of these days we'll see real 802.11n gear.
