Yeah, I'm thinking of the smooth curve (to which we can apply cubic splines) is the combined effect of many discrete step-funcitons. I guess that's more of an economic network effect. but am I alone in
thinking that cellphones are one of the suckiest products on the market? (the phones themselves are OK; it's the bundling and customer-screwage I'm not fond of.
Yes indeed; cell phones cool, cell phone comanies less so. Voice over IP ought to be free by now :-)
Sure I want fiber optics to my house. But maybe the power company will carry > data on the wasted bandwidth of power lines. Keep the faith :-) call me an unrealistic idealist, but I'm hoping for wimax-like stuff (perhaps with some nice subversive/grassroots mesh routing) to eliminate the incredibly annoying cell monopolies.
Me too. I want a small laser on my rooftop, with prisms splitting to receivers on the roofs of two or four neighbors, with a uucp type friendly free protocol. I guess they should be MASERs but I'm no physicist. regards, mark. regards, Pete.
