And hence the reason for the short-range high-speed connectivity that exists now. For most, that's the "current" solution. For remote access, we have 1Mbps bluetooth to another device that potentially has "high-speed" internet connectivity. Sounds reasonable to me. Sure, everyone wants it all in one device. I guess that means every device should have such redundant capabilities. Hmm...
