Actually, it died in the arse for very good reasons:

  1. Wangara base station is/was simply too far away from the Perth 
backbone station for good quality bandwidth - little things would stop it 
from working.
  2. The amount of 2.4G stuff out there is increasing at a rapid rate

If you can get ADSL, and don't _need_ the synchronous data transfers, then 
don't bother with wireless solutions.
