RE: [Thinkpad] Final 802.11g Wireless Draft Standard throttles data rates down to 10-20Mbps instead of the 54Mbps marketed by companies

        I thought the article made it sound like the headline rate is
20Mbps and not 54Mbps as it was before. Still kinda weird though since
companies like Proxim can deliver 155Mbps wireless WAN with the same
latency as wired circuits between the islands of Hawaii.
