In fact, WiDi sounds almost at odds with the WiGig alliance that Intel formed with Atheros and Broadcom which is a similar effort to wirelessly throw content around the home using 60 GHz spectrum.

The fact that it uses the specific frequency in which oxygen absorption is the highest limits signal propagation to only a few feet and keeps the signal in the same room, so it will work great for same-room video streaming.

By design, 60-GHz cannot be used for multi-room communication, so other solutions are required for applications that require room-to-room video streaming, such as IPTV distribution or PC-to-TV video streaming.

For multi-room applications, the most interesting standard is G.hn, developed by ITU, which promises data rates up to 1 Gbit/s [see http://blog.ds2.es/ds2blog/2009/04/how-fast.html ], and can operate over any home existing home wire (power lines, phone lines or coaxial cables).
