 boltEnd of the line DSL sucks.Premium join:2003-11-11 Charlestown, IN kudos:1 | ARRGGHHH The thing that sucks is that most of the places that will do muni wireless are the places the telcos won't serve anyway. The small town I live in is looking into muni wireless because of Scottsburg's success. Being a neighbor, I can tell you how much the residents like having it. I was told by the telephone guy that I was the first person in town with ISDN. Do you think that they are going to bring DSL to the town anytime soon? Let's just say, it's not on the horizon. As a technology worker I am absolutely abhorred by the lack of response by the telcos in our area. It hurts those of us who want some kind of broadband, but can't get it. It hurts our students, who's learning experiences could be much richer. It hurts everyone but the telcos. If the sate is going to does this, they MUST mandate that the telcos serve everyone, not just the major population areas. -- bolt »www.boltweb.com |
