Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Feb 22
For Verizon subscribers only

We've just learned that Verizon is hooking the Capitol up with broadband. Seemingly sweet, right? Not so much. You can only get "wireless internet" in the Capitol if you are a Verizon subscriber:

"It's different than Wi-Fi. With Wi-Fi, you're limited to one spot [bluebonnet sez, not necessarily so]. Broadband access allows you access anywhere the service is offered, which in this case, is throughout the entire building," he says, adding that users must be Verizon Wireless customers to access the service.
Our tax dollars at work, only benefitting those select few who haven't changed over to Cingular or T-Mobile yet.

Thanks to Wi-Fi Net News for the heads-up.
