Wine is not a drink normally associated with Texas barbecue, which is exactly why Karen MacNeil was at Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que in Llano, Texas, pouring bottles of it for a group of ribs-chomping patrons.

...Cooper is one of the World Economic Forum's 2005 Technology Pioneers who are helping the next generation of broadband and portable communications conquer the world. Along with other upstarts like Britain's Frontier Silicon, Israel's Wisair and Cornice from the U.S., ArrayComm is working to improve technologies already in use - like wi-fi and 3G - in order to give people wire-free access to e-mail and the Internet, and to provide them with cheap phone calls in the U.S., Europe, China and Korea, among other places. Between the four of them, they're pretty much covering...

Conventional mobile antennae, Cooper says, "are really just a bunch of sticks - we make them smart.'' Where conventional masts send out signals in circular arcs - a process that wastes transmission power because only the signals that hit a phone are used - an ArrayComm antenna transmits signals in a straight line, targeting a particular phone that it recognizes using specialized software. Cooper says ArrayComm's software, which resides in computers...
...offices. This is the new reality." Of course, the biggest test for all the Pioneers is: Will people actually use their technology? There are, for instance, at least half a dozen technologies vying to become the next-gen wi-fi, and only one will win. Take it from Cooper, the grand old man of ArrayComm, who says, "everything takes longer than you think, because people take time to change.'' But then, he notes, people balked at the PC and the cell phone...
