Greetings,
I just wanted to weigh-in on this idea. I know that a lot of folks
seem to be of the impression that 'wireless is all we need', but I
regularly have to connect physically to get reasonable latency and
throughput. From a bandwidth perspective, switching to wireless-only is
basically the same as replacing switches with half-duplex hubs.
Sure, wireless is convenient, and it's great for casual
email/browsing/remote access users (including, unfortunately, the managers
who tend to make these decisions). Those of us who need to move chunks of
data around or who rely on low-latency responsiveness find themselves
marginalized in wireless-only settings. For instance: RDP, SSH, and X11
over even moderately busy wireless connections are often barely usable, and
waiting an hour for a 600MB Debian ISO seems very... 1997.
