the conclusion:
"What exists today meets the needs of 90 percent of the market," said Nogee. "The more standards that are set, the more complex the market will become...It's debatable if people will even notice going from 54Mbps to 100Mbps in most applications."

is kinda crap. This is the same like Bill Gates once said nobody will ever need more than 640kB of memory.

The theory is 54Mbit, in reality this is reduced 1 by overhead, 2 by either radio interference (like microwaves, cell phones, etc.) or thick walls of concrete with some houses having 1 or more floors between access point and client. Going through 1 floor perfect->good, while 2 floors is good->mediocre/bad.
So if the basic speed is 100Mbit that would no doubt be useful.
