Re: one more
said by hayabusa3303  :This is crap is so full of hot air it isnt funny anymore. Sure it looks good on paper , but in the real world it stinks. Why dont the bells finish deploying dsl and there will be no problems then. This is just like the blimp useless. Call up your ISP and tell them that there ballon or blimp is in your back yard and how long will it take before you get internet back? I disagree in part. This is awesome for those needing temporary high-speed hookups, such as week-long or day-long conferences, political events, etc. It saves infrastructure and equipment costs for events such as these. |

| What "week-long or day-long" conferences or events need a 60 kilometer diameter of coverage? Even Burning Man is small enough to cover with a hot spot or two--if you have the fat pipe to the web.
Even a large convention with attendees spread throughout hotels all over a metro area would have problems--like satellite, this isn't going to work very well indoors.
MAYBE this could provide a temporary "bridge" to a event in the boonies like Burning Man, but realistically, it'd be much simpler to just have it serve as a single fat pipe in and out, and still use Wi-Fi for the connections to the end users--that way you don't have to set up each attendee with special hardware.

Im against the bells and there ways. Aleast Wi-Fi has a better shot at this than this.
What about broadband over gas lines and this one takes the CAKE. Line,sinker and hook. |
