A good portion of my work is installing home area networks. Wireless can be 
installed for a significant discount, approaching 50% in some cases -- 
including labour -- over CAT5 installs. The discount for businesses in 
somewhat less, but still compelling. 

Non-wireless has its justifications (physical security, speed etc), but it is 
increasingly a niche market. Fewer want it, fewer sell it.

As an aside, when I was younger I wondered whether the comic 2000AD would 
change its name. Now I'm older I wonder, I wonder when "Wired" magazine will 
change its similarly anachronistic title.
