In other words, why should we have a separate device to interact with each type of wireless signal. And so, with that intriguing question, begins the pitch for a new device call Phi. It's a $750 antennae-laden PCIe card that slots into a desktop and gathers up wireless signals that are flying around the home - so long as they have a frequency below 4GHz and don't involve bank-busting neutrinos.
