Interesting to see a good article on Ham Radio appear in Computer World.
That's a publication that many in the tech world and is very widely read by us professional IT geeks.
Most of us get the paper version of the magazine for free sent to our business and regularly read it.
This will get a wide exposure with lots in the technical community that may not have given much thought to Ham Radio lately, especially the younger guys.
Its sort of like how good the exposure in MAKE Magainze is in reaching the younger technical minded type audience.
And this article did a good writeup about Ham Radio what kind of stuff it might offer todays young techie/tinkerer without even mentioning EMCOM or ARES/RACES or any of that stuff at all....imagine that.

As someone who has worked in wireless broadband since 2005, I fail to see ham radio as a technology upgrade with regard to IT. While the article mentions the AX.25 days as developmental building blocks to today's wireless devices, ham radio has become so disconnected that AX.25 is still the only "standard" 20 years later [at <50kbps AFSK]. No OFDM, 802.11[x], nada. It almost seems that hams' overall attitude is that wireless & broadband are consumer "toys" or "common carrier" if used by hams. Yet the applications are immense!
We need to change the rules & change the role of ham radio back to being "cutting edge". Having attending IP Video Academy in Raleigh last week, there are amazing opportunities to push the technology, not argue over 1970 rules...
