"I think the next revolution in electronics will be taking place in the wireless broadband area."

Spent a few hours in a neighborhood coffee shop this past weekend and was joking with the staff about WI-FI. I was surprised to learn that they had access - and it wasn't a neighborhood site - it was in the coffee shop. This was very surprising. Now, you must pay a monthly service fee to connect and you need the proper cards, etc in your laptop but this was bullish for the last mile.

Regarding DSL, the problem is the A in DSL. No matter what I can receive, I need to be able to send and the other party needs to be able to send data at a higher speed in order for the video to be full motion. I can get synchronous DSL but it's too expensive. It would cost $80/mo to get 384K each way vs $50 to get ADSL - that's enough for full motion video but the key is also the other user - he/she must also have the ability to send high speed data.
