More interesting stuff at https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=347169&fcc_id=%27DKNWIFIMON150

I find it interesting they are requesting confidentialidy until March 10th. Could this thing be available shortly after that?

I haven't looked at many documents like this, but my guess is that this is probably pretty standard to request confidentiality, and stories about several other items I have been following say that going to the FCC normally means release is imminent.

This Sling stuff and "TV Everywhere" is the future!

Back in 2002 I asked my networking instructor if we could study some more 802.11b because I thought wireless home networking was the future. He thought I was crazy!

Well I went and visited the FCC website today and found a bunch of new info posted, including photos of the inside and outside plus user manual.

Enjoy!

Any ideas on pricing for this yet?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nothing on pricing...

Lets hope the user manual is better then that when released.

Yeah, that manual was interesting...didn't they title it something like "theory of operation"?
