Wi-Fi Networking News: Intel Pushes Consumer Electronics Angle

Intel's on the lookout for consumer electronics partners to embed their 802.11a/b/g chips into them. WiFi Networking News asks why anyone would need 802.11g. My shot at it:

1. For upcoming streaming media apps (maybe a lame reason) [Besides even on 802.11g you'd probably get only around 15Mbps instead of the touted 54Mbs]
2. (Probably the real reason) For the same reason people spend $$ to buy music systems with wattages that can literally bring thier house down and end up not using even 20% of its capability? :-)
