Sprint's second-quarter net income more than doubled from a year
earlier thanks to a strong performance from its wireless division, the

CORVETTE USES MESH NETWORK TO WIN AT LEMANS

In a high-speed proof of concept, Motorola, partnering with General
Motors, came in first and second in the GT1 Class at the 24 Hours of
LeMans endurance race last month, using a mesh network to transmit
maintenance data from the race car to the pit crew at 200 mph.

NTT BUILDS NETWORKS THROUGH TOUCH

Imagine getting in a car and having it adjust its settings to the way you
like them, grabbing a door handle that knows if you are authorized to
open it, or shaking hands with someone and invisibly exchanging
electronic business cards. Japan's Nippon Telegraph and
Telephone (NTT) is developing a system that can do these
things and others by using your body to create a high-speed computer
network.
