The other day, the last person, who had never wanted to use smart-phone, (it's me), has fallen. Now all the Ebata's become smart-phone users.

After making me a smart-phone user, I could understand that the big paradigm that smart-phone has loaded, is

"Communication fee is free, whenever you use your smart-phone for data communication under the wireless LAN environment(except for voice communication)"

That means,

"If you have high-speed Internet lines to your home, you can use that at home."

And I think the smart-phone has been able to realize the ("obvious", so called) paradigm.

-----

Aside from the above,

(I have already told you the same story again and again, however), The Ebata's house is digital fortresses that the Ethernet cable runs in the house, even in the outer wall of the house, and in the ground of the garden.

I was occasionally involved in research on wireless LAN at a certain time, and at the time I got angry with poor communication quality of wireless LAN. at the bottom of my heart.z

At that time, a phrase of

"Wireless LAN is useless"

was printed in my mind.

I purged "Wireless LAN" in my house, and, at the same time, I started "large-scale installing of wired LAN" as a historical background.

-----

However, since only my senior daughter used a smart-phone, I could not abolish all of "wireless LAN".

So I installed a small pocket-sized WiFi AccessPoint(AP), sticking to the leg of my desk and started non-stop operation.

In addition, in my wife's country house, a voice of "we need wireless LAN environment" has appeared.

For the care of my wife's parents, my wife and children became to need to use their smart-phone in the house too.(I also prepared for a pocket WiFi access point in this case too.)

With such an increase in "smart-phone party" at the Ebata family, the amount of data communication by the wireless LAN becomes higher day by day, and it is no longer to support the communication by the pocket WiFi access point.

On the other day, while I was working in my office, I received an instant message "Wifi stops now" from my wife.The pressure to wireless LAN in our house has risen gradually.

-----

After all, I yielded to pressure.

Recently, I ordered a permanent Wireless LAN access point (AP) to Amazon.com, and it arrived last night.

(I knew that APs becomes cheaper. I was surprised)

Tonight, I will install it with changing location (As mentioned above, The Ebata's house has a wired LAN everywhere).

Security measures are also important for wireless LAN, so I am afraid that the work will be tough.

-----

Thus,

The Ebata's family collapsed the "dictatorship of wired LAN by Tomoichi Ebata" regime by external pressure (internal pressure)

and

"Democratization through wireless LAN by all the Ebata family" is steadily progressing.
