In sight of a water tower.....well shoots that idea, a lot (50%+) of people in my general area still have "cisterns" and get their water delivered in trucks/hoses as needed...... On 7/24/06, Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
We have a similar problem here. One of the local ISPs installed wireless, and bounces the signal from water tower to water tower. If we are in sight of a water tower we can sign-up for broadband. They had a learning curve but its been pretty stable for a year now. They pay their rent to the towns for the use of the water towers by providing broadband free to the local schools. Its a win-win for everyone.
