As an avid anime-goer, the Tuan Mai's nonchalant use of VLC has me thoroughly befuddled.

But I think VLC (the video player) will not sue VLC (the WLAN) unlike some fruit brand company fighting for the right for the name "Axpstore" (I have to censored it with an x because I don't want lawsuit).

That's the perfect illustration for this story because it has, you know, lights in it. Brilliant.

Why use visible light then?

".... optical WLAN based off of conventional ...."

surely that should be "based on"?

It is weird to read, and it does sound unusual to hear but it is correct. May not be the best way to phrase it, but I have definitely heard it used in the media before.

Im up on some ideas of wired systems of them. But obviously as said, of say a wireless system of them is probably more favorable. Just dont like into them for to long to say.

But for the speeds, anyone one part is more of just that then many, yes?

Still, though, Alot of practical and none prctical places though.

Also, Wired being used loosely though to, but not so much. Yes? Again, a place of debate for differences, yes?

If they used ultraviolet, people would sue them for causing sunburns?

My guess is that equipment to emit visible light is common and well-distributed in offices and other working environments, so you get to piggy-back off it.

They can use slower IR leds too, if they don't want light.
