RE: Sprint phone needed to perform "pervasive" computing

I wonder if there will ever be a service like satellite radio (and now I see
there is going to be a satellite TV service for cars/RVs like satellite
radio that will work when moving), for data.  That would be very cool, but I
suspect the latency delay would make it too slow...

That's pretty good then.

Personally, I can't wait until we have true nationwide coverage of
high-speed access so that I can log on to the Internet from anywhere in the
country. (world!).  using the same internet account, etc...and with no dead
spots.
