I wrote out a long rant about the state of telephony in NM but decided that it would be in poor taste to post it. It is my firm opinion that NM is probably in the bottom 10% of the USA in terms of wired-ness, possibly lower. I don't think anything short of (rhetorical) violent bloody revolution is going to change this. The LECs sure aren't going to volunteer to drop billions of dollars on this sort of project, and in fact have been making strong political movements in exactly the opposite direction. What is happening in the telcom industry in NM (and the rest of the US for that matter) is nothing short of criminal IMO.
Humorously, I couldn't download the PDF linked to because the bandwith to that server has horribly saturated. Digg Effect (slashdotted) or cosmic irony - you decide. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
