libraries are (from what I understand) paid for with tax dollars and they enable access to volumes of information.
Internet access, though used in a more private way, seems to do the same. It could be argued that 56k is good enough, but usually true 53k connections only happen on lines that are already nice enough that dsl is available. Most rural areas have only pair gained lines that allow 28.8 if you are fortunate. 28.8 can be very tiresome when it takes 20+ seconds per page if there are average graphics. do-able, but not cool. |
