The BBC are reporting that the there is a potential solution for wireless power.

Having just travelled round Sweden with numerous power adaptors, not to mention the need to keep finding a socket in different airports so I could plug in and power up, I'd welcome something that eliminated the need to tie myself to a wall.

Of course airports, hotels and offices are an ideal place where this could be helpful. Imagine just sitting at a desk in the airport lounge and get both power and wifi.

What's not clear from the article is whether there will be any way to control this, short of turning the units on and off. That might be a problem in terms of the companies monetizing the service, but it will still be an improvement on the current hunt-and-plug situation.
