[MLB-WIRELESS] The Age Technology article

[Dave Keller]

Similar to the 56k modem standards, their was the same battle between two
different methods to get the higher speed connections. While the IEEE were
off having their little infighting trying to decide which standard to use..
Texas Instruments had their standard, based on PBCC, which is sometimes
called 802.11b+ which is sort of backward compatible with 802.11b. If they
cant talk at "802.11b+" they just start talking 802.11b.
