No problem.  Wireless options are getting cheaper.  The equipment is
getting much more cost effective and more stable, even over the mtns of
NC here we can get 5-7Mbps consistently, which is pretty impressive.
I'm sure the hardware can do more than that, but around here that's
plenty for residential customers.

Not to mention, with the opening up of the TV 'whitespace' to vendors
this should ramp up wireless speeds and adoption.  Unless, of course, a
bunch of telcos bribe the government to shut out competition like
they've done everywhere else.
