This hasty post is made from the Long Island Expressway. Using a fixed rate nationwide Verizon connection, I have intermittent access anywhere in the US. It's cool, fair to horrible speed, and impossible to run streaming data of any type. But I can browse the net, e-mail, and check forums. In short, I am pleased to have a live internet connection during every stage of this vacation.
Here's to future worldwide broadband 'net access!
