Arrow CSIRO owns wi-fi patent| sues HP, Dell etc!

Who'd have thought that CSIRO owns the patent for wi-fi? I got a wi-fi router at home by netgear!

CSIRO spokesman Luw Morgan earlier said legal action was continuing against 13 companies: Intel, Dell, Toshiba, Asus, Netgear, D-Link, Belkin, SMC, Accton, 3-Com, Buffalo, Microsoft and Nintendo.

Holy crackers!

CSIRO won the battle and expects $1billion from 14 companies, it's the largest win ever and mainly from American companies! Imagine that, the Yanks ....
