For decades, the physical Internet has been in a state of suspended animation. It was designed in the 1960s to transmit files and e-mail, and even the advent of YouTube, Internet phone calls, streaming music, and networked video games have done little to change it. In part, that's because the only network big enough to provide a test bed for new hardware tricks is the Internet itself; in part, it's because the routers and switches that make up the Internet are closed technologies, sold by a handful of companies. A project led by Nick McKeown of Stanford University, however, has begun to open up some of the most commonly used network hardware, from companies such as HP, Cisco, NEC, and Juniper. Allowing researchers to fiddle with Internet hardware, McKeown says, will make the Internet more secure, more reliable, more energy efficient, and more pervasive.

Good article, read the whole thing please.

No one is interested. I think the whole moving around and playing an fps is cool.

I think the entire web structure needs redone. It would be costly but the benefits could be massive. A total revolution of modern technology could be had.

nice read. And oh my God, it's actually news, lol. It's a lot to take in but still interesting.

cool stuff about the seamless wireless transitions. playing TF2 in the car on a laptop would be pretty cool, especially on those really long trips.

+rep for the good read

yes it would be how ever by the time this is actually made, there will be some cooler game out that you would want to play

- plus it probably won't work on the operating systems of that time
and computers will probably be 5-10 times more powerful

but yea it would be great if they re designed wireless to be fast

Yea its these things that need to be done. As of now there are little to no innovations in wireless tech compared to other parts of the industry.
