NTIA Hands Out First Broadband Stimulus Grants > California?

California?

Better than my state. Most of it is ranchers that would *love* to get broadband, but the Telcos are too damn cheap to even put up a wireless tower.

So.. They're stuck on crappy dialup, and I mean crappy.. 24kbps if you're lucky.

In California, if the local telco offers DSL, they're allowed to block any other DSL from entering the area. That allows them to charge whatever they want to charge for DSL service. Wireless ISP's, like Digitalpath, are not blocked as they use no cable or co-axial to provide service. I lucked out. I've been using Digitalpath since 2003. It's faster than DSL and uses no cable at all.
