This is incredible. Deeply, deeply incredible. It's a wireless standard that offers the same bandwidth to each user, no matter how many more users are sharing the network. So I'm on my own and I get 100 meg, and Craster and Grim... join, and all three of us are still getting 100 meg each. My jaw is on the floor.

Edit -- my old boss's nutshell description:

Quote:
DIDO in a nutshell: Normally we send information to each user individually from a specific transmitter (cell tower to mobile for instance), which leads to everybody's signals interfering with everybody else's. With DIDO you anticipate that interference and send deliberately mangled signals from all the transmitters. These signals combine at each receiver to create the personalized information streams you originally wanted to send.

What I really need to know is if you need to put a white flag on your door or not.

This led to me thinking about my own wireless connection. It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.

I was reading that link for a while and now my tea's gone cold.

It's the best I could do with such shoddy material. It sounds interesting. When can I buy some? (I didn't really read the link.)

I knew I could rely on Beex!
