In <list-336718@2rosenthals.com>, on 09/06/06 at 09:07 AM, "Neil Waldhauer" <os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com>Julian, we started a discussion some time ago about broadband options up there. I don't recall where we left off, but I would recommend looking into a good commercial-grade satellite service, such as http://www.skycasters.com. Again, if there's some possible business to be had in the provisioning and the Wi-Fi setup, we'd be happy to look into it (under your auspices, of course). We're looking at a couple large projects right now which may indeed have me traveling between the end of Warpstock and New Year's, but I could surely get up your direction to look into this at some point (or even on the way up to Warpstock next month).

I can park my car anywhere in downtown Santa Cruz where I live and have
free access. This isn't intentional, but a result of so many cafe's with
powerful access points.
On longer trips, I'm finding that most cheap hotel rooms now include free
wifi, and many roadside rest stops now have free wifi. Many airports now
have free wifi.
My ISP is offering wifi to the local cafe's at a very low rate. Most of
them use that. It's so popular that most of them also restrict seating of
patrons with computers to before 6 PM.
Nice that out there in California you have all these options. Most of us
in rural areas in the east don't have a signal of any sort within 20
miles, and most of them are motels that are hardly free access points to
non-customers. As far as I know, no New York Thruway rest areas are
currently offering free wifi.
OTOH, our housing costs are not out of sight and our wines are right up:-) True enough!!
there with those from California.
