And zero in my area. And you can't start a telco COOP in this state since the iLEC has encouraged laws to make that not legal. The two major iLECs in this state (Verizon, SBC) are not doing their FIOS nor their "Project Lightspeed" in the state last i knew. So much for fancy technology. The only [major] providers that are doing high speed to the home are Comcast and Charter. Neither the local cable franchise nor the local iLEC care to service my area. There is a local WISP that just started up that covers the space where my home is.. it appears they have a single T1 so you have to hope that nobody else wants to watch some other TV episode at the same time.. (since everyone is jumping on the pay-per-view or downloadable tv bandwagon in the past few weeks/months). - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
