Abstract: 
The gluon collisional width in hot QCD plasmas is discussed with emphasis on temperatures near T-c, where the coupling is large. Considering its effect on the entropy, which is known from lattice calculations, it is argued that the width, which in the perturbative limit is given by gammasimilar tog(2)ln(1/g)T, should be sizeable at intermediate temperatures but has to be small close to T-c. Implications of these results for several phenomenologically relevant quantities, such as the energy loss of hard jets, are pointed out.
