<VV> April communiqué

[Frank DuVal]

John,

Please explain to all of us simple people why you think high speed is 
available all over the world, or at least all over America, for a 
reasonable price. I happen to be lucky in the fact that one of the TWO 
cable companies that run lines by my property actually has a good 
service record. But, I work with many people who live in King George, VA 
and counties to the east of there, and southern Maryland (Charles and 
St. Mary's counties). These people, like myself, live too far from the 
switch to get DSL ( or at least DSL that has a high speed....). They 
also have no cable service for miles from their property. Cell phone 
reception is poor also, so the Verizon cards that plug into the computer 
to access NationalAccess do not work. Or if they do work, it makes dial 
up seem fast! Every time I mention satillite, I get the response they 
checked into it and it is $400 in equipment and $100 per month.

So just how soon will all the people have high speed?  Tell me your 
secret and I will pass it on.
