Wireless Bypass

There are always different factions within the tech-loving community.  On one hand, you have the text message and Facebook lovers who need to communicate 24/7 and whose life seems to be a big social network.  On the other hand, you have the businessmen and women who need to stay on top of the latest information so they can close the big deals and never be out of the loop.  Other factions include the newshounds and sports junkies.

So who can get the most out of wireless internet and who is winning so far?

It’s hard to say, but each has gotten its fair piece of the pie.  Here is what the different groups are ecstatic about:

Social networking cliques: You never get offline, no matter where you are in town, no matter who is sending you a message.  You never miss a change in plans for the night’s activities.  Pictures can be emailed; video chats are a cinch.  This group is getting a lot out of wireless internet.

Businesspeople: Stock tickers are always coming in on time.  Calls go and come without fail.  Video conferences are a possibility when you can’t get to the office because you’re stuck in traffic.  Continuous service means trust for clients and partners alike.

News junkies: Reporters, bloggers, columnists and spectators do not like to wait for someone in the community to tell them the news.  Wireless internet all the time allows them to hear the news from primary sources, or at least from wire reports.  Updates and alerts make the system that much easier to handle.

Sports fanatics: Sports fans with a busy schedule cannot be parked on a couch or on a bar stool whenever a game is on.  That’s life.  Wireless internet brings access to all the games.  It’s really a test of bandwidth for the sports fan, as live video feeds depend on the strong signals.  If the connection is not clicking, there is no game.
