If you have a 100 mbps broadband connection and your toddlers are slowing

Dexter kill another victim whilst you were having a smooth video conference
talk with your boss, but it's not necessary.

I just *have* to say, "me too"...and as Jeroen says, some things work fine just the way they are.
I waited 30+ years to be able to see the puck in a Hockey game via OTA Broadcast HDTV, and now Genachowski wants to use that spectrum so I can watch the game on a 3x3 in. screen.<sigh>
