[Tfug] Connectivity out in Gates Pass?

[johngalt1]

Recommendations? without talking about a specific location 
for the purpose of site evaluation, it's pointless to 
recommend.

Sprint broadband is killing their existing fixed wireless, 
but give them a little time and the bandwidth is expected to 
reincarnate into some new technology offering.

Well, there's the possibility for simply bits fixed 
wireless. call them to ask whether the location is covered. 
Does Gain or anyone else still offer fixed wireless 
broadband?

If the friends are desperate and have cash to spend, 
Hughes.net or WildBlue might work if their view of the 
southern horizon isn't too obscured by mountains or trees. 
This option is even worse for large pings than aircard.. 
Hmmm, wonder if geosynchronous satellite broadband providers 
work with linux?

YMMV
