802.11a?!

Robert Scoble is saying for media center and xbox360 you are going to want 802.11 "A":

802.11 "a" routers. I went to four stores yesterday and couldn't find them anywhere. Why are these hot? Well, if you have an Xbox 360 and a Media Center. Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to talk about those yet. Heh! Let's just say that 802.11 a networks are gonna be hot this Christmas.

I'm assuming he means 802.11a which was a wireless standard being pushed by Intel and never got much traction. Its also probably the reason why he couldn't find any... simply they are not made anymore. My best guess is that Robert misread something and means 802.11n, because I have no plans on buying 802.11a equipment for my xbox anytime soon.
