That's not even practical, then I would just have to pay for my own internet so I won't get packet sniffed or whatever hackers do. The future is expensive.
[QUOTE=demoguy08;37514049]Not even GSM reaches 161 km. Unless some serious progress has been made in the bandwidth department, people will essentially be surfing on dial-up with this.[/QUOTE] It sounds to me its just a theoretical maximum, just like CDMA is somewhere around 20-30 miles or something like that. But realistically, in order to keep signal levels acceptable in poor conditions and probably also to reduce load on the actual backbone fiber and microwave networks, they are never more than a maybe 5-10 miles apart even in flat rural areas.
