Wi-Fi is fast becoming the technology of choice when it comes to connecting consumer electronics. Consumers will embrace Wi-Fi in devices ranging from TVs and home music systems to gaming devices and portable media players.

"Wi-Fi, available in computers and other electronics for years, lets users get onto the Internet when they're near a Wi-Fi-enabled router, in a so-called hotspot," says Dean Scheu, Pres. of HSI Commincations.
