Re: Monster? Exactly How's That?
I know your frustration. DSL technology as it stands today is limited by the distance. this will change with time. I grew up in MI, and spent many summers in Traverse City, and I know this would be a great area, to provide DSL city wide, and not just near the CO(s)
It will come with time.

| Part of Japan's aggressive deployments came in part because of their bleeding-edge technology base. The other fact being the dense population of Japan. Lot of people living there in small areas...just about no "open land" so of course things will be deployed faster because it's shorter distances.
The end all to any distance problems is fiber plain and simple. Unfortunately in this country, an aging telco system and other legal hurdles prevents companies from upgrading their systems in a more economical/faster fashion.

| Have you ever even been to Japan? Granted, it's the size of California, but that's far from small. There are vast amounts of "open land". Yet the mountain villages and small towns STILL have broadband available at every other pay phone. The reason they were able to deploy it so fast is that the phone co's are making a killing over there. Phone service is by far one of the most complicated scams in that country. |
