> Wireless technologies are founded on exchanging the convenience of wirelessness for reduced performance and reliability. There's no "gotcha." That's the whole idea. Maybe that trade isn't for you, but it's not a secret. If you take any course on physical networks, they go over the advantages of not sharing the medium. [Emphasis added] I mean, yes, if you think the OP is addressing the article to people who have taken courses on networking, then maybe the article isn't saying anything interesting. If you read it as trying to make people who don't know this more aware of the tradeoff they're making, it makes a lot of sense. My guess is that very few people understand how much better wired is over wireless, or in which situations (I know that I don't always think of it, and I have lots of experience in networking).
