In addition, Usurf's Wi-Fi system demonstrations and subscription services, as well as vendors offering discounted wireless products, will be situated at booths found in the main tent.

| Beware of this technology; I could see Wi-Fi be widely used internationally in a couple of years eliminating DSL, Cable, router and maintenance cost currently. Intel is planting a good seed in this area.
