and no digging (Score: 1) by zafiro17@pipedot.org on 2014-10-17 09:46 (#2TED) It seems like a reasonable line of inquiry, at any rate. Why invest all that time, effort, and money digging trenches and laying cable when wireless infrastructure can be put up so much more easily? Back in 2000 I had an office whose internet connection was provided by a microwave link across town to the ISP via an antenna on both roofs. Seemed like magic back then - can't imagine that technology hasn't improved scads since then.Downside: bomb that antenna, and the city is offline. A nice move for any aspiring dictator.
