When things like this happen, the consumers are the ones who end up winning :up:

 

[Mainframeguy]

agreed - I just wonder what might be in store for Europe?

anyone want to newspost this too?

i'd imagine the same deal OR europe is looking into wifi balloons http://tech.netscape.com/viewstory/...4393/wi-balloon-delivers-broadband&frame=true

 

[Mainframeguy]

The link is currently only one-way, and concerns remain over the difficulty of maintaining the position of the balloon and avoiding air traffic.

that's a shame... makes me wonder if this is viable.

 

[lancer]

it could be a viable solution for antarctic bases...

A friend told me about this the other day. Glad to see the Nextel/Sprint merger has been producing good results.
