Your story points out that there is a difference between being RIGHT and WINNING. Here, the ISP was RIGHT and won judgment in the court of law. But they LOST in the economic terms. This is definately something every ISP should consider long and hard before suing a client. - Larry Yunker

A regular Linksys BEFW11 (standard best-buy type router) claims 300ft range indoors and 1500ft outdoors. AlphaShild's 1.2M sq foot coverage sounds impressive, but if I'm not mistaken, that would amount to roughly 1095ft x 1095ft. That's not terribly better than the Linksys. - Larry -

This should not be a big surprise. The Democratic Party's platform has always yielded higher taxes. This story just shows one of many ways that a Democratic-lead Congress is likely to spread-the-hurt. Sorry folks, but it is a grim day in my opinion. Taxes are going up, cost-of-business is g
