|  Bell South not the evil monster users claim
»www.techweb.com/wire/networking/···JUMEKJVN
In more evidence that it is embracing WiMAX as a key strategy for delivering broadband, BellSouth said Tuesday that it will extend the wireless high-speed service to customers in Hurricane Katrina-devastated Gulfport and Biloxi, Miss.
The former regional Bell operating company (RBOC) said the pre-WiMAX service will feature downstream speeds up to 1.5Mbps. The firm has installed similar service in some Georgia communities and has offered the service to businesses in New Orleans.
"As BellSouth strategically expands wireless broadband service across our region, we considered it an obvious choice to use this innovative technology for disaster recovery," said John McCullouch, president of the firm's Mississippi operations, in a statement. Is this the same Bell South that users claim is backward and is doing nothing in hurricane damaged areas? But I guess unless they offer free multi-state WiFi, the "give me everything for free" crowd will slam them.

You obviously missed the point of those who criticized BS's decision to withdraw the donated building for the NO Police.
It isn't that they should give up everything for free, it is that they appeared to be stingy brats when things didn't go their way. Instead of showing a little compassion for the customer base they are obviously concerned about getting back, they withdrew their gift.
