Yet Another "Last Mile" Option

Jay writes "This article on Yahoo talks about the FCC looking into licencing the 70 - 95GHz bandwidth spectrum. Which would provide "12.5 gigabyte Internet access to homes or businesses as many as 12 miles away from an antenna." Another option for bringing bandwidth over that last mile?" And we could see products based on this during my grandchildrens lifetimes.

Every couple of days /. reports on someone solving the last mile problem.

Wonder when there actually WILL be a solution?

Us rednecks are tired of waiting so long for our our porn and Britney Spears songs to download.

Thank god

Now my microwave will not cause packets to drop on my network. All I have to worry about at that high a frequency is solar flares, the voice of god, and flying saucers.

Telepathic Network the way to go

I definitely think that Bell Labs needs to work on using people as a way to transfer data telepathically. With all the electricity going through the human body it only stands to reason that we could pass data from human to human eliminating the need for these technologies.

Telepathically? That would raise a privacy-issue I think...

No worries, a telepathic network approach would never get very far. The infrastructure in most neighborhoods wouldn't support it. ;->

How about using cans and a string?

Combined with teleportation, and we're done!

Combine this with this and we have the perfect solution.

Both will be feasable around the same time.
