Faster wireless or weirder tests?

Now I like a good test of speed and performance
as much as anyone else, but this seems a bit odd to me.
In a test at a automobile test track north of Tokyo,
NEC says it successfully demonstrated in-house developed software that
allows for a fast sign-on and hand-over between standard access points.
The test involved four 802.11b access points placed at 500-meter intervals.
The access points were connected to a router that used NEC's high-speed
handover software was installed. A Porsche car traveling at 205 miles per
hour sped past the access points while software managed the switch from
one access point to the successive one, NEC says.
How many of your users can run past access points at 205 MPH? If they can
then give them a raise and a courier job.
