Alan, if you have a satellite link on your mountain, then why do you need WiFi? The satellite phone supports a modem, and the WiFi access point will be limited by that modem anyway.
A higher speed satellite hookup implies a fixed station supporting a larger number of people. Then you have a whole infrastructure, it is no longer the proverbial remote mountain.
No, that old Intel commercial was not about reality, rather it was about a compelling visual to introduce Centrino. It was a good visual, also. It was not meant to be taken literally but rather to evoke imagery.
I am reminded of the old Joe Namath stocking commercial where the Jets quarterback modeled a pair of nylons in a typical centerfold-type pose, moving his hand along his leg. No one expected that Joe wore the things in real life! (About a year later, a bill was introduced into Congress which would have required celebrity spokesmen to actually use the products they endorse. That bill went nowhere, so Joe was spared having to wear nylons in public.)
I just wish that AMD could afford commercials like that!
