    ... either force the incumbant providers to lease out their wire, or you need to let competitive telecom providers have access to private property to run cable.

    I can let whomever I want do whatever I want on my private property. Another fubar in all this is that many utilities have "exclusive" right-of-way leases on poles and underground conduit from the municipalities. If a competitor can't get through the right-of-way to my property, that'll be a problem.

    Sigh.... what's being celebrated here has nothing to do with who invented the radio (take a look at the articles, there's nothing mentioned about Marconi having invented it)

    Yes, true. But just the other day I heard some putz on the radio say Marconi invented radio (forgot exactly what the discussion was about) and you can bet the local news drones will be using the same phrase if they mention this story in their newscasts. People tend to get credit when it's not due them simply because they popularize it commercially. I correct people on this because it's the prevalent view of the history of radio. And ... I correct people when they credit Edison with the power distribution system. That was Tesla's too!!!

    OT


    I've been getting more interested in Ham and Shortwave radio. My question is this (for you more knowledgable types) - Can you suggest any receivers or transceivers for the PC? I'd like to have one on a PCI card or maybe even a USB connectable box.
    Where can I find such a beast? TIA

    People steal no matter what. Computers don't make that easier or more effective.

    Uh, I think they do. When I got my driver's license (Illinois) renewed, I noticed that the monitor brought up a digital image of the whole thing, photo and signature. When I asked about it I got a bullshit line about how it's for my convenience in case I need a replacement. (Yeah, save me 2 minutes of time after waiting in line for an hour) So now in addition to my name and address, my signature is now available to the fraudsters.

    Here's a banner I'd like to wave!
