I agree many public or semi-public places assume that the laptops and mobile devices will have WiFi, and it would be hard to find a modern laptop that did NOT have a WiFi interface, but there is still a use for wired ethernet, primarily speed. I have laptops at home, and for normal use it's OK to just use WiFi. But I do plug in for two use cases: 1) Backups and 2) Video viewing. For backups in particular, it takes about 5 times longer to back up my laptop over WiFi than over a gigabit wired link. In *theory* WiFi links can be very fast, but in practice they almost never are anywhere close to gigabit speeds. --Greg
