Someday, they’ll build wireless Internet into every building, just the way they build in running water, heat and electricity today. Someday, we won’t have to drive around town looking for a coffee shop when we need to check our e-mail. If you want ubiquitous Internet today, though, you have several choices. They’re all compromised and all expensive. You could get online using only a smartphone, but you’ll pay at least $80 a month and you’ll have to view the Internet through a shrunken keyhole of a screen. |

showcasing how future upgrades could theoretically allow them to offer
10 Gbps to each home, or symmetrical 1 Gbps service to each PC in said
home. But Verizon's current framework is no slouch either, the company
today announcingthey just completed a trial that involved almost 1 Gbps service on their existing GPON network.
The
trial involved connecting Verizon's Taunton, Massachusetts

location. |
