Wireless security vendors are trying to create a market where none exists. As always, the key to better wireless security is better practice, not new products.

If your perspective is the wireless network at a fast food location ... fine. But if you are talking about say a hospital your so wrong. It all comes down to numbers, if it costs an additional 100k a year to have staff to prevent people with laptops from 'entering the parking lot' versus buying a security product for 20k ... I surely hope you are not providing the consultation to the client.
You mention just deploying a VPN solution ... sure this is great, but is this not also a product that a client may have to purchase.
Once again this article also overlooks the impact of say HIPAA for medical organizations using wireless, chances are they must add additional security products to even be legal.
These kinds of articles are bad, giving a false sense of security to people who don't know any better.
