However, the U.S. Government (both Federal and state/local) is throwing money and time at this;
Government threw money at making sure we don't take cigarette lighters and toenail clippers on planes, too. Doesn't make it a worthwhile thing to spend money on. (For the record, I think they *should* spend at least a bit of money to do generic pandemic planning - but avian-flu specific is probably a bad idea).
Or, better yet, how will the DSL providers support their customers when their support/installation staff are quarantined at home? Would they ever come to my house with a new cable modem/router if I needed one?
My DSL modem showed up on my porch in a box with UPS stickers on it. So I'm not holding my breath on them coming out with a new one....
