And nobody's going to come up with an affordable solution to give us unlimited wireless bandwidth - there just ain't enough of us.
just MHO, FWIW.

Rver's are a small sample of the consumers requiring internet. The statistic speak that the number of wireless consumers of data is growing and will eventually surpass wired media. BUT, not until it's cost effective.
