According to its own website, the company has delayed roll-out because it's taking so long for equipment to gain the WiFi 802.11g accreditation. They say they don't want to launch and then be unable to supply receivers to customers.
Additionally they do say that one slow connection on a node slows down everyone else on the same node. They will support the slower 802.11b standard initially but then phase it out.
If there are other problems I'm not aware of them, but whatever the case I'm certain that it's a matter of when wireless wideband internet becomes available and not if. And when it does, even if it takes a couple more years to get right, I plan to be at the head of the queue. If NTL, Telewest and others take no note of this, they will be in trouble.
