Most houses don't, and people either can't or don't want to bother  
laying wire.

One wifi unit and my wife and I can work in the same room, on the  
couch or the recliner, or up in our son's room, or out on the deck or  
in the garage (I did buy an Airport Express to extend the range that  
far).

And when we moved, it came with us.  And I can drop the Express in my  
laptop bag when we go away.

Plus, I like being able to work outside without having to drag CAT-5  
around with me.
