Didn't make it to the Wifi Summit

I was feeling sick last week so, despite a nice comment on my blog encouraging me to go, I decided not to go to the Wifi Summit. I don't regret not going. I probably would have felt miserable and, as can be expected, the event was well blogged.

I'm glad to see people talking about Wifi and I'm glad to see politicians talking about it too (though it amazes me that a politician might be called visionary for essentially jumping on a band-wagon.) But, ultimately, I don't think we'll look on this meeting as a critical event in the history of Boston or Wifi. It seems like just one part of a conversation about Wifi.

Wifi technology seems to be in a very interesting place right now in that it's very powerful and not very well understood. Everyone knows that it will make a big impact (and has begun making a big impact) but people seem generally unsure of how to move forward.
