I just ordered ADSL today! It is allready here. Pacific Bell,
only $39/month! and for additioal $10/month, you can also receive ISP
unlimmited connection service. the only initial cost is $199 for the modem
and card etc.. no more additial costs such as installation etc.. this is
only if you sign up for one year term. otherwise you would have to pay
additional cost for installation.
ADSL is allready avaliable in many places and for this low price here in
California.
As you said, it is full time connection to the internet! you can also
use your reqular phone line at the same time! your home becomes permanantly
connected to the network with a static IP address (at least this is
what I understand how it will work).
I am sure this will spring up some ideas such as you mention of
how to take advantage of this for software development from home.
we are entering a very exciting times for internet related activities,
where many homes will be connected to the internet 24/day, 365 days/year!
using a very large speed lines, and this is an opportunitiy for Ada to
enter this new field.
Bill.
