The market research company, ABI Research, predicts that 99 percent of North American colleges will have the current standard of wireless access, 802.11n, by 2013, up from 2.3 percent now. Among the reasons for deploying Wi-Fi is that colleges see it as a recruitment tool, according to ABI.
But most colleges already have wireless. They just haven’t migrated to the current “n” standard, and the standards change frequently with the emergence of new technologies, says Kenneth C. Green, of The Campus Computing Project.—-Andrea L. Foster

This was a perfectly timed reminder for me. I have been debating whether to apply for another job and fear was holding me back. Thank you.
