If I may keep the DSL and water meters threads alive a bit
longer, may I ask if any more gifted techies than myself know what it
would cost to give basic internet access to every city residence? My
understanding is that the Postal Service considered giving every U.S.
resident free e-mail and found that the cost would be hilariously
cheap. Unfortunately, the Postal Service decided they'd prefer to
continue shagging mail by the truckload. So I ask the question- would
the city save enough in mailings to pay for free e-mail for every
residence? If not, how much would have to be added to say the water
bill to pay for e-mail for every city residence?
peace,
Dyna Sluyter from DSL challenged Hawthorne
