Cable Without Cables

dfinney writes "'Wireless cable, which uses a network of land-based antennas to carry signals to and from a small dish at a user's home, is supposed to be cheap -- or at least cheaper than wired cable or wireless satellite service.'" Another possible alternative for high-speed internet is always a good thing.

    Heh. This reminds me of the good old days when cable was a luxury, and not everyone had it. Channels would broadcast themselves as "Channel 2, Cable 5" or some such.

    My family and a lot of my friends had Cable, so we always wondered if those that didn't had some service called "Channel" :)
