OK.  but somehow I think what works in Memphis is not of much copncern
to Gov. Wolfe of Pennsylvania.

I have been merely pointing out that people who think we have
ubiquitous Internet here in the states are mistaken.  If it's
as hard to get 17 miles from the 6 largest city in the state
of PA I imagine it's a bit more difficult in the middle of a
cornfield in Kansas.  And, as I said, fighting for it is no
longer of that much interest to me.  I am not going to be
taking those late night network outage calls from work anymore.
