There is a european company called Tele2 which is currently rolling out wireless DSL in the UK and in europe as well. The UK version uses a licensed setion of the 3.6 GHz to 4.2 GHz spectrum. Network architecture is regional central access nodes with backbone connection and microwave links to more local "Tele2 Access Nodes".
Quote from the site:
"Superior Security
The Tele2 network has been designed to provide maximum security. Originally designed for secure military operations, the system uses the latest spread spectrum CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and frequency hopping radio technology."
On the users end the antenna plug into a LAN router type of thing, with an ethernet connection for the LAN/PC.
Up to 150Kbps both ways, supports linux (basically supports anything that does TCP/IP), coverage is currently only 4 cities, major expansion in Q1 2000, residential version £9.99 per month (on trial), buisness ones £39.99. Loads of adverts at the moment on local radio and stuff.
There is a similar program in the UK. It has various videos on the site. The demolition machine was really cool. (Currently in 3rd series I think). Last week's was aerial bombing. (Airship vs radio controlled plane).
Although BT was privatized ages ago, there is a government committee/organisation/bureaucracy thing called "oftel" which keeps an eye on them (and the rest of the UK telecoms industry) with regard to anti-competitive actions/quality of service issues/etc. See here if you really want to.
Anyone know if/when he is going back to the red shoe diaries? Hmmm, nice bit of voice over and "meaningful" looks at the camera. Hmmmm, good. I really loved that show!;)

Why not just go for names of the women from 'Coronation Street' (a particularly 'interesting' UK soap)
eg
Vera (firewall)
Mavis (NT)
Rita (Linux)
and a whole bunch of other stuff
