Is it just me or did anyone who read this have a flashback to the first scene of the movie? Does the scientist in this article look anything like Dennis Quaid? And does anyone else think Dennis Quaid reminds you of "The Dude" (Big Lebowski)?
This reminded me of the South Park "Underpants Gnomes" episode. The gnomes first got underpants (step 1) and then profit (step 2). I believe some pieces were missing from their business plan.
Since they are going to pollute the air with RF and use more electricity to power their wireless gear, I am going to print out each "blog" or weblog entry created by these people.
I disagree that HAM is orderly because of a "steep learning curve."
Ham radio is orderly because its operators understand and abide by common-sense and practical rules and regulations. Liken the art of ham radio to driving a car. Without an understanding of the rules, many terrible things can happen! That's why we have ham and driver's licenses.
Many people think ham radio has arcane rules and regulations to hinder the uninformed and non-techies from the hobby. On the contrary, ham radio has rules and regulations in place to educate its user community. Listen to ham radio operators communicate for five minutes then compare their demeanor with Family Radio Service (FRS) or Citizen's Band (CB). Ham radio licenses are not difficult to obtain for those who are truly interested in obtaining them. I have had friends study for their tests and learn the material in a week and in some cases a weekend. My wife, my mother, and my father all have their licenses.

My suggestion is to vote out all incumbents if you want serious change. Washington is messed up!

All of the time. I have a good collection of networking and firewall books that a few quick Googles could have served me better.

i would like one.
I agree with W1BMW. I worked the International Space Station today with this so-called "antiquated" technology...
