Wireless networking is undergoing a transformation from what has
been primarily a medium for supporting voice traffic between telephones,
into what is increasingly becoming a medium for supporting traffic among
a variety of digital devices transmitting media of many types (voice,
data, images, video. etc.) Wireline networking underwent a similar
transformation in the 1990s, which led to an enormous build-up in the
capacity of such networks, primarily through the addition of new optical
fiber, switches and other infrastructure.
