Hyper Speed Broadband Nirvana?
In light of the Internet troubles that plagued me for so many months (things seem to be better over the last week or so, fingers double and crossed!) this GigaOM piece covering the dream of “100-megabit-per-second broadband connection” really struck a power chord.
Apparently, in order to move toward such an advance, the President has to take action soon. Knowing how proactive Mr. Bush has been on science and technology during his tenure – stem cells, the Mars (lack of) initiative, and so on – I’m sure we can expect that old series of tubes to start jamming with hyper speeds any minute now.
Meanwhile, I keep waiting for the Google Overlords to come on down to Pasadena to get the free wi-fi flowing.
