The 'service differentiator' is so clear that it abuses our intelligence that you should even ask. Wireless is not cobbled to a tether.

To put this into perspective: When 802.11 'WiFi' started out just a few ago it was sold to corporations largely as a cost savings compared to running cable or Ethernet wires for low bandwidth needs. But later surveys found that cost advantages compared to typical wired services, however substantial, came out down the list of what corporations gave as reasons for continued purchases. The number one reason was the added flexibility of use - getting away from the restriction of wires. The second or third reason given was the increase in productivity experienced from having employees connected via WLANs. This has been show to result in about 1.6 hours of increased productivity per employee per day. That is a HUGE differentiator. Accuracy of information gathering and immediacy of retrieval were given as other advantages. In many fields of science, accounting, medical professions, etc. the accuracy of information gathering and responsiveness of retrieval can mean both money and effective business or treatment . .the difference at the extreme between life or death.

No . . .there are no differences between awkward wired connections and unwired connections . .LOL!
