Does Fayette realize
the need for broadband?
I just read your
"Opinion" article, "Who is up to the task of getting Fayette
wired?" First, a big "well said"!
No question, all you said is on the money. But, maybe there are a few
more things you would like to know.
This week Microsoft announced that their new Windows, named Windows Millennium,
or Windows ME for short, will be "very heavy into media." Though
most of us have to wait until Sept. 14, the release date to see exactly
what they are talking about, I can say it is much more than just a "feature"
of this new operating system.
If you watch stocks and related reports, you already know that CBS, now
Viacom, has made an agreement for digital program origination and full
interactive TV/movies to be distributed through the Internet.
Is the picture becoming clearer? Soon, very soon, all media will arrive
at your house/business via the Internet. Have you noticed the "push"
by the satellite dish people? Could it be the next "buggy whip?"
Entertainment as well as business communication is about to see another
major jump. I hope Fayette understands, without 21st century access, business
will relocate, individuals will sell their homes in order to catch up
with the state of the art.
Knock, knock... HELLO... Is there anybody alive in Fayette County?
Good job, Cal!
