Just wanted to add something to this news post.
Alberta is not the only province that is aiming for widespread broadband. In a news conferance with Prime Minister Jean Cretien recently, he stated that he wants most, if not all, of the country to have access to broadband connections.
Now, obviously this is a campaign promise, which means nothing when the 26/27 November election is over.
Anyway, just wanted to inform you all of this.

In fact, Mr. Asimov is credited by the Oxford English Dictionary, with the creation of 3 words:
'Positronic'
'Psychohistory' - which has a different meaning then that given in the Foundation series.
'Robotics'
This information comes from the "Yours, Isaac Asimov: A Lifetime of Letters".
Personally, with regards to movies, I'm hoping to see the "I, Robot" movie done. The script, written by Harlan Ellison, is pretty good.
