WiFi in the car

WiFi planet reports that Atheros will be building a WiFi network on a 60 km stretch of road in Japan. This network is mainly for telematics purposes and will be a showcase for the technology.

I guess that especially the technology to handle hand-overs will be tested. The aim to offer this service to government agencies, but I get the impression that other customers will be targeted as well. Interesting to see how such a service will evolve alongside 3G in Japan.
