WiFi Day 2012
WiFi usage has grown exponentially over the past few years. Until a few years ago, smartphones were the ultimate symbol of geekhood and tablets were swallowed to get rid of a migraine. Now they're everywhere. If you're managing IT, you're either trying to keep these miniputers off your network or doing your best to provide them with good connectivity.
