Re: Portable Internet? Does it really work??

Wow. That response just gave me great insight into the network over there. Thanks so much for that info and pardon my lack knowledge about our friendly neighbor. You were right about that touchtone thing. But I don't understand the requirement to pay the extra for tone instead of pulse since it's all standard here. Can you tell me this next... what are the microwave transmitters for on some towers I see over there? We don't have a whole lot of that now in Chicago and am not sure what it's being used for in Toronto area.

Tower space is not dedicated to just the obvious carrier. All kinds of companies rent tower space. We have a cop shop here with a huge tower and they have microwave links out to other facilities on their tower. It's often used for simple point to point comms still here. I know that a lot of microwave links were disconnected in the US due to a shortage of bandwidth several years ago. I worked on a project with Williams to replace some computer equipment because of the change from microwave at that time.

The reason for the touch tone fee is historic ... many years ago, DTMF on a line was done by an adaptor that did cost the telco a lot to install and maintain. It was part of the regulated service (kind of like the state regulation of utilities charges there) It's been complained about many times, but nobody's had the balls to actually DO something about it (for fear that Bell will just find another way to screw money out of their subscribers!)
