No doubt this is so. But most people, those in small LANs, certainly, spend
most of their communicating time opposite the Internet, rather than with other
stations on the LAN. Large LANs are probably cabled rather than wireless, so
irrelevant for the comparison. If those statements are true, there isn't much
advantage, if any, to the faster standard in the US or here either. It's
something for T1 and T3 subscribers to think about, however; how many of those
are there here?
