yes, i suppose that's one aspect of technology in which the USA lags some other countries, apparently due basically to FCC regulations. Canada has much more broadband due to better regulation & lower prices & the federal govt has a program to extend it even to remote regions; IIRC the UK govt also plans to serve its (less) remote areas. however, i was really looking ahead 2 - 3 yr , when broadband will have extended to many more areas in most countries. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
