Wi-Fi Networking News has become the pre-eminent news site for the Wi-Fi industry covering a spectrum of topics from hot spots to consumer equipment to technology developments. Those in the know turn to Glenn Fleishman's flagship Wi-Fi Networking News site and a small family of wireless data niche editorial sites covering cell data, voice over wireless LAN, public safety wireless, WiMax and broadband wireless, and the new 802.11n flavor of Wi-Fi.

The blog was started in 2001 after Fleishman wrote a cover story for The New York Times Circuits section on the very early stages of public Wi-Fi hot spots, which then numbered several hundred. (Today, hotspots number over 130,000 worldwide.) Fleishman is regularly quoted in the Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and other print publications about wireless data and Wi-Fi.

CEOs, marketing directors, and engineers regularly check in with Fleishman both to obtain the state of the industry and to provide the latest information on their companies, technologies, and insight on the future.

Fleishman brings solid reportorial chops to his blogs. Over a 15-year writing career, he's contributed to most major business and technology publications. He currently contributes regularly to The Economist, Popular Science, The New York Times, and The Seattle Times, where he is a columnist. Fleishman appears weekly on KUOW-FM in Seattle in a segment called The Works, talking about technology.
