And to add some legitimacy; physics dictates that latency over wireless (through the air) is less than latency over fibre (through glass), so not only will they end up with<b> </b>more reliable internet, it'll be better for all those web 4.0 services that kids love to use!<div>
<br></div><div>Ok ok, so in the real world this is only correct for high end wireless gear, but the physics still stands; I'm sure the Major would love to talk. :-)<br><div><br></div><div>- Andrew<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

"Maybe we should be looking further ahead at satellite and wireless links rather than relying on physical lines."<br>
<br>
<sarcasm><br>
Ahh, right, because satellites just can't fail. And even if they did, you can courier a replacement there overnight. conroy is on record saying that "his" satellites "don't have latency problems"... so it all sounds like the perfect solution.<br>
