The WiFi technology has great potential; it will not only be used for computer use, but also be used for television broadcasts. An Israeli company, Metalink Ltd. Has recently used a WiFi connection to broadcast several simultaneous High Definition Television (HDTC) programs (UPI). The company has used a new network standard, 802.11n, to demonstrate the HDTV capabilities. The 802.11n standard is said to be capable of transmitting the HDTV signal in a radius of 100 feet.

In 2001, the Boeing Company was the first to implement the WiFi technology on airplanes. This makes it possible for people to use their laptops, traveling at 34,000 feet over any part of the world, to be connected to the internet and their company’s networks. Lufthansa German Airlines was the first airline to implement this system into their long haul fleet. “Lufthansa technicians, laying cables and installing a wireless local area network system, connected 380 seats to a server aboard the 747. They connected the server in turn to two Connexion by Boeing phased-array antennas mounted above the fuselage, just behind the 747's distinctive forward hump.” (Lufthansa…). Since 2001, only a hand full of airlines in the world has decided to install such service on their planes. In August of 2006, Boeing has announced that it will be scrapping the Connexion program due to high costs (Boeing to Discontinue Connexion by Boeing Service).
