	The next big thing is actually ultrawide - The Boston Globe
		But even though some ultrawideband devices will come to market this year, the technology is still hobbled by regulatory challenges and a long-running clash between two incompatible ultrawideband systems.
		The precise digital pulses of an ultrawideband radio make it possible to locate a transmitter with an accuracy of a few inches, so automakers are working on ultrawideband detectors that can spot oncoming cars and prevent collisions.
		But consumers will probably get their first taste of ultrawideband in home electronics gear that will no longer have to be connected by wires.

	EETimes.com - Ultrawideband radio attacks spectrum drought
		Yet for all its promise, ultrawideband has drawn its share of fire, mostly on account of the pervasive effect of the technology on existing communications.
		Time Domain claims that the signals are undetectable, even at short range, by a receiver not designed to receive ultrawideband signals, because the pulses are sent at sub-milliwatt power levels and the energy is spread across a huge range.
		Petroff now thinks the FCC has been largely persuaded by ultrawideband's merits: "The regulatory hurdles are a lot smaller than they used to be," he said.

	Geek.com Geek News - Ultrawideband Wireless getting closer
		Ultrawideband wireless technology is one step closer to reality, as the FCC asked for one more round of tests before beginning final approval proceedings.
		Ultrawideband works by sending data and communications at very low power across a much larger range of the wireless spectrum than wireless devices do now.
		This ultrawideband technology will be a great step forward because it can get more people on the spectrum without taking up more space (yes, that's an oversimplification, but it does basically come down to that).

	Geek.com Geek News - Intel to move from Bluetooth to own ultrawideband standard (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ultrawideband works similar to Bluetooth, but promises speeds of 480mb per second and a range of 10 meters.
		Ultrawideband is one of those technologies that was meant to give us the wireless home since it is so fast and bluetooth is no where as fast ultrawideband.
		Also ultrawideband isn't effected by walls and other obstructions like 802.11b and bluetooth but the FCC held it back a bit since people keep fearing it will interfere with their equipment but are relaxing a bit more since their are finding out it is not interfering with other electronic equipment.

	Ultrawideband: Is it worth losing your privacy for?
		While the technology could provide a super-high-speed method for moving data between wireless devices, UWB could also be used to see through walls, or into the darkness.
		Even though Coursey made it clear that the images ultrawideband provides will be "closer to ultrasound," some of you still thought that the UWB images will be closer to prime-time television than lumpy, abstract video art.
		Perhaps instead, it appears that we've tossed in the towel over the health issue, unlike privacy; and we simply accept that increasing levels of broadcast energy will be needed to boost our wireless lifestyle.
