People want "wired" to be a thing of the past because it's not as convenient as wireless. But that doesn't make it better.

Friend of mine is a builder and I've helped him with wireless issues at his house, I keep asking why he's building new homes without network built in... Even just a central drop wtih a run to where TV is anticipated, any place a cable tv outlet would be, and a few spots to set up wireless APs (with power right there as well, up and out of the way). He's not sure... and even with minimal extra cost he's not sure if it would help sell when it is all built....
