A very early good morning to everyone. Well before we get into the bulk of today's news, I wanted to ask a question to everyone. I was reading BroadBand Reports this weekend and stumbled across this cool article. As of September 1st last year I went completely digital (cell phone, sattelite TV, and cable Internet) and cut loose the land line. Now mind you this was a bigger move than going floppy free back in '02, still I felt a little weird not having one. My question is how many of you out there are now totally mobile? |

I think you were a bit confusing Tycho... you mixed up your point a bit... You being 'all digital' has nothing to do with being mobile...  |

not really... you can get analog cell phones. No laptop... no mention of a wireless setup... (satelites are stationary)...
Only thing relevent is losing the local line. |

To go truely Mobile/Digital you need a 3G phone... the ones that do video calls... so you can do broadband mobile.
Popular in Japan. Internet broadband in your Honda. |
