re: no matter where you go, there you are?
Ed, therein lies the paradox, doesn't it? If the concentration of bandwidth is in the metro (and not in the boonies, as you have attested here in the past in no uncertain terms), then virtualizing in non-metro areas is like skating on thin ice during Spring Thaw.
Following your implied hypothesis, staying home for many in the burbs would render a text screen-like existence, on interrupts, in comparative terms to the abundances found in the heart of metro areas.
Is this changing fast enough? Is broadbanding in non-metros taking place fast enough to at some point be deemed relevant in the short term? For some, yes. For many others, tho, the answer is no. And then there is the touchy feely aspect of being there, or for some, getting away from there, depending on where you define there.
Good question, let's see what others have to say. Frank |
