I wonder what kind of range this system would have? Like current radio? Could it be deployed in a cellular-like fashion, so when I drive cross-country, I could access my mp3s on my machine back home? This could be really cool - Not needing to burn MP3s to CD so I can have car mixes, just fire up a radio connection and network over it.
What about using multiple channels for faster throughput? e.g. recieve on 101.3, 101.5, and transmit back on 101.7?
Could this be deployed in a car-to-car fashion? Like people who have their HAM callsign on their vanity license plate....
Oversubscription is a way of life. Cable has been reputed to not increase net pipes very often, and now it looks like DSL is going the same way.
When will the "powers that be" understand that reducing bandwidth (real, perceived, or effective) will just make people dissatisfied?
Is deregulation the answer? Can most people with DSL choose their provider? Not in this area... With multiple providers, one could just ditch the one with this kind of policy for another...
1. Pictures! I would love to see some of the more creative cube creations out there....
2. OSHA. If you're in the U.S., check out the OSHA standards for lighting, or threaten to call them. Most companies will do pretty much anything to avoid an OSHA or EPA audit.
