Well, from my understanding its a bumped up version of that. Or at least thats what they are aiming for. I think the article said that current Wi-Fi cannot handle the full the data for full HD fast enough?

HDTV apparently uses 20mbps, and even my crappy wifi router connects at 54mbps, so i dinno. I didn't read the whole article, so I might have missed some points... hehe

Wireless streaming of high-definition video is a relatively tricky engineering problem that many companies are trying to tackle. It can be done with the fastest versions of Wi-Fi, a technology already in many homes, but that requires "compression," or reduction of the data rate, with picture quality degrading as a result. There's also a delay in transmission as chips on both ends of the link work to compress, then decompress the image.

You can already get local stations in HD over the air, so I assume this would simply be what you get over cable except over the air.
