Bandwidth everywhere but not a byte to eat.
[ Posted by Dan on January 08, 2002 | 0 Comments ] The Washington Post has an article about the slow rollout of broadband services in the US. There's some discussion about the issue at Slashdot too. Now, here's my story. I live in a pretty nice neighborhood in Northern Virginia in a recently constructed 'planned urban development' (PUD). This particular PUD has a few thousand homes in it and dwelling within them are a lot of dotcommers because this area of the country is a major communications hub housing such companies as Worldcom, AOL, Exodus, PSInet, Adelphia and Verizon. In fact, all of these companies have facilities within 5 miles of my house and I can almost see Exodus from my window as I type this. Not one of them is able to provide high speed access to me. Maybe I should break into Exodus with an ethernet cable in hand...
Comment posting has been turned off because I don't have enough time and will to deal with the constant comment spamming. I'm very sorry and will fix this sometime soon (soon = before 2004 ends). |
