[Hidden-tech] Helping others without broadband

[andy at valinet.com]

John C. Dvorak has some very interesting takes on this subject.  

"WiMAX is supposed to deliver a fixed wireless broadband 
connection from 2 to 30 miles and, according to Business Week, 
"break the duopoly" of DSL and cable. I want WiMAX to work"

He goes on at length about this subject and it should be of great 
concern to all of us in rural areas.  He feels that the cable and the 
DSL industries are keeping the technology down - for obvious 
reasons, and will probably kill it eventually.  You can read his full

Perhaps someday our government(s) will realize that getting high 
speed internet into ALL parts of the country is as important as 
getting electricity and telephones to ALL parts of the country was 
just a few decades ago.  It's that important!
