The Economist has a new article on “emerging wireless” technologies (smart antennas, mesh networks, ad hoc architectures, and ultra-wideband transmission):
Watch this airspace.

Ran into a cool site, Textploitation (while looking for http://www.techsploitation.com).Textploitation has some kind of government money for an SMS project. Those interested in such things might want to check it out.

Or should I say “The First Wireless Communication Infrastructure?” Looks like we could learn a thing or two about messaging from our bacterial friends (and presumably our viral friends).

See the BBC News article:
Bacteria ‘message’ to each other.

It is known that bacteria exchange messages by releasing substances into the fluid in which they are growing, but new research suggests they can send signals through the air.

It is the first time airborne communication has been identified, say the team who carried out the study.

The messages sent by bacteria are a wake-up call to other roaming bugs to head towards the bacterial colonies called biofilms.
