If you can stand to wait until 2004, a copany called TeleDesic will be providing high speed, 2 way satellite Inet access at an affordable price. They are using a network of low earth orbitting (LEO) satellites that they say will serve several simulatenous users, also giving speeds of up to 64mbit. Anyway, check out their website, www.teledesic.com
In case politicians have forgotten, the people pay the taxes which, in turn, are used as federal dollars. And, on top of this, and I'm not exactly sure of tuition fees for Arizona universities, if I'm paying $50,000.00 a semester for school, hell, even a YEAR, I'd better be able to use my Internet access any way I choose. Now, in regards to students using their dorm rooms for "personal matters." This is just ridiculous. Again, the people attending these schools are paying not only taxes which helped fund the universities, but tuition or room/board fees. Thus, as long as you aren't participating in any illegal activities or disturbing other students, what's the problem? It sounds to me as if this woman is trying to reinstate "the good ole days" in Arizona, forcing her morals and values upon the residents and college students of Arizona. She says she's responding to "student concerns." Students go to politicians and say "You know, I'd really like it if you could decide what material I'm able to view on the Internet." or... "Yeah, Julie came into my room the other day. We almost had sex. So, you think you could make it against campus rules for opposite sexes to visit in dorm rooms?" Of course, that wouldn't stop anyone in a same sex relationship:)
