Towerstream update
By James Gaskin, ITworld.com

With all the recent noise about WiMAX high speed wireless broadband and municipal WiFi, I decided to call one of the few companies actually servicing wireless broadband customers: Towerstream (.com). They started several years ago by using pre-WiMAX certified equipment to deliver high speed wireless broadband to customers in the northeast and now serve companies in Boston, New York, Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Newport and Providence, R.I.

E-Z Pass is "an easy way to show you took the off-ramp to adultery," according to another divorce lawyer.
