Re: Seattle??
Yeah I agree the Seattle view has got to be skew'd. While Seattle is a big telecommunications city, and the Westin Building is pretty much the hub for all traffic in Northwest & beyond (Alaska, some links to Japan/N Asia), the actual broadband options available to people and businesses is pretty lame.
Qwest has their DSL, and Comcast has their powerboost. What else is there? All the other options are a bit unrealistic: Speakeasy WiMax which costs as much per mbit as telco T1, and oh I guess there's probably some Covad mixed in there somewhere... but overall from a consumer POV I don't think Seattle is anything special when it comes to broadband. |
