Increasingly, Wi-Fi also provides internet access for remote communities where it is deployed by volunteers in community-based networks, by operators in 'hotspots' and by municipalities in 'hotzones'. This book traces the global success of Wi-Fi to the landmark change in radio spectrum policy by the US FCC in 1985, the initiative by NCR Corporation to start development of Wireless-LANs and the drive for an open standard IEEE 802.11, released in 1997. It also singles out and explains the significance of the initiative by Steve Jobs at Apple to include Wireless-LAN in the iBook, which moved the product from the early adopters to the mass market. The book explains these developments through first-hand accounts by industry practitioners and concludes with reflections and implications for government policy and firm strategy. 606 $aIEEE 802.11 (Standard) 606 $aWireless LANs 615 0$aIEEE 802.11 (Standard) 615 0$aWireless LANs. 676 $a004.6/8 702 $aLemstra$b W$g(Wolter), 702 $aHayes$b Vic 702 $aGroenewegen$b John$f1949- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785495103321 996 $aThe innovation journey of Wi-Fi$93829289 997 $aUNINA
