    Golzarama: In Search of WiFi

    It's our second installment of Golzarama! That's where we send producer Mike Golz out into the streets of NYC to find out what's really going on in the business news world.

    Mike has an IPod touch, which I have to say is really nice! Mike and a cameraman went to Bryant Park here in New York to see how available WiFi really is. Guess what? Not so available!

    My prediction is that WiFi is going the same way as the Beta tape did when VHS became popular. WiMax is going to win, because honestly, it just covers more areas. No one wants to go to Starbucks to get a wireless connection, they want to be as mobile with their computer as they are with their cell phone or their Blackberry.

    Sprint might be a good way to play this according to an expert we had on the show. Here's the video, take a look at our superstar producer, who in a year or so will probably have my job:

In a business blog, you should attempt to understand the technology before you comment on it. WiFi and Wimax are different, and in many cases Wimax will help WiFi flourish. More often then not, WiFi and Wimax will compliment each other not compete against each other.
