- wlonkly 6mo agoIt doesn't, but the phrase was used in the early days. https://boingboing.net/2005/11/08/wifi-isnt-short-for.html https://boingboing.net/2005/11/08/wifi-isnt-short-for.html
- pocksuppet 6mo agot was made to sound like Hi-Fi, which stands for high fidelity, and Wireless, but "wireless fidelity" is a meaningless phrase and not what it was intended to directly mean.
