~ Left Behind -- in the Pacific. This article reminds me of the problem we're having at PIBC Tol, in Chuuk. We've been trying to get Internet to the campus, which has no electricity (we have generators) or phone service. We've been working all the angles -- satellite, radio, etc., trying to bring a connection to campus. We've had engineers, IT experts, satellite salesmen, and entrepreneurs all looking for solutions. Now the regional phone company is installing a radio connection to the island. But they want $5,000 for the installation fee and $390/month for a 64 kbps connection. That's with the educational discount. You should see what ordinary people pay. And you thought AOL was pricey!
