Happy trails, Glenn.

Sad news from someone who served as a major inspiration for the creation of this blog and had been a big help to it ever since:  Glenn Fleishman is shutting down Wi-Fi Networking News.

It was likely only a matter of time.  Wi-Fi has matured to the point where writing about it in the manner Fleishman has for the past decade-discussing the technological and often social and financial implications of new developments in depth-doesn't provide enough material to produce regular posts anymore.  Too bad, because no one did it better.

Anyway, the existing posts will stay up "forever," to quote their author.  And if you missed the birth and formative years of the 802.11 era and want to get a feel for what they were like,  I can't think of a better resource.  Might even be enough left there to spawn a thesis or two, if not a dissertation.

So long, Glenn.  Good luck with your other projects.  And-oh,yes-thanks.
