T-Mobile to use PEAP for Secure 802.11 Auth

The Seattle Times report s that T-Mobile is going to roll out 802.1x authentication using secure EAP (actually they will use Protected EAP, better known as PEAP).

Early in the new year users of Windows XP will be able to get a patch from Microsoft which will include 'Wireless Provision Services' that will be able to have their own separately encrypted local channel. This is exciting as it means that customers with the right software and without VPN access suddenly have a very high degree of local link security and integrity.

I like the idea of Hotspots. And I like how T-Mobile is approaching it. I wish them great success!
