Some towns in Vermont are actually offering free wireless access to people in range. I think Montpelier is one such town. I honestly don't mind paying the Telcoms for internet access, but I'm paying for a service that should be reliable and fast for the price I pay for it. Broadband will eventually be availible to everyone, I think. The world hasn't gotten any smaller, just more managable.
