Good riddance. I'm sick of this fuzzy, low def picture. It's a tragedy that the U.S. telcos have scammed the tax payers and dragged their feet.

7 years is a long time, but then things will (hopefully) finally be where they should be. Of course, a lot can happen in that time. Wireless may become viable or the world could be taken over by robots running on Lisp.
