YAWN!!! Isn't this what burstable T1 lines are for? If you absolutely must have broadband for livelihood, go shell out the cash for a T1 line. Can't afford it? You still have no excuse. Right now, you can at LEAST get 144K ISDN-ish speeads ANYWHERE you get a cell signal, for like $50/month. And that's not even counting the fact that Verizon and sprint have both upgraded close to 95% of their network to at least EVDO rev 0, with many areas enjoying Rev A speeds. Even if you live if a complete cellphone black hole, chances are that there's a good LOS-based or non-LOS WISP somewhere around. Would I like to see large-scale fiber? Sure!! But, when it comes to managing ISP's, we have seen numerous times that the gov't is never good at it. Most projects like these end up as epic failures. |
