[BC] Verizon T1 and batteries

[SteveOrdinetz]

Yeah, I'm well aware of the lack of broadband availability in northern New England.  A big part of the problem up here is terrain.  There are 3 WISP towers within a couple miles of my house and I can't get a signal from any of them.  You would need a huge number of APs to get decent coverage, but that badly eats into the bottom line (considering the lack of population density).
 
Vermont has a much higher number of NIMBYs and just general governmental red tape than we do in N.H., so I can only imagine the hoops any provider needs to jump thru.
 
I'm told that DSL is coming to my area later this year.  Even if it's only 512k it'll be a huge improvement over what I have now.  Hopefully it happens.
