Will wimax ever make it to yu-jean?

Know comcast/verizon/clearwire have spent millions lobbying against its 
being adopted in amerika--though several cities have already installed 
it for their citizens.

Philly started it.

40 megabytes per second--with an average cost worldwide of less than 20 
bux a month.

Any wonder fat bomcast is fighting to keep it out?  (I mean that 
adjective literally; their ceo looks like a beached whale--and he loves 
boosh and the war and jesus--all our favorites).
