Intel chief puts faith in wireless - Alfred Hermida, BBC News Online
The head of the world's largest chip maker, Intel's Chief Executive Officer Craig Barrett, has bleak news for the technology industry. He has said that he can not yet see a way out of the economic troubles that have hit the tech sector.... But Mr Barrett is still optimistic that the future lies in communications. He is now putting his money on wi-fi technology that allows machines to talk to each other without wires. The wireless home networking market has been growing rapidly, and analysts expect sales of wi-fi equipment to reach 33 million by 2006. Intel's next-generation chip, called Centrino, comes with a wireless module built-in to take advantage of the boom in mobile computing.
