The funny thing about all this is, Napster is a scapegoat for the peer-to-peer sharing community-- how many other programs are there like it? Dozens! I predict one of 2 things will happen:
1. Someone somewhere will be able to create a crack that removes the protection layer or...
2. People will simply migrate from Napster (leaving it high and dry) to another p2p client that doesn't add restrictions.
I work for a company that's completing a completly wireless backbone based on microwave technologies. Check out http://www.lmasys.com .
The transmission method is subject to the weather and you need line-of-sight to the tower, but it sure beats waiting months on end for a DSL connection, especially in secondary markets and rural areas (which is what we're targeting).
