Problem
The purpose of this project is to determine the indoor and outdoor options available today in Atlanta and to provide a critical summary of their advantages and disadvantages. The interested student is to prepare a 90-minute presentation/tutorial on wireless networking from an application developer's perspective. Part of this presentation is to include a comparison of wireless services available to a resident of Atlanta, with recommendations on cost and performance.

The motivated student is also asked to discuss issues with integrating handheld units using wireless protocols.
