more from X

a followup to last week's column, Robert X Cringley tells us what's happened in this last (first?) week of micro-wISPs.

while it's not that exciting, i do like the quote at the end:

I credit Napster (the original Napster, not the new one) and DivX for this relatively sudden willingness for average people to get their hands dirty twiddling bits. Motivated by free music and video, millions of people have learned that it isn't really that hard to do, especially if there is a 12 year-old available to help. And since we seem to keep producing 12 year-olds, I'd say the sky's the limit when it comes to how these technologies will change our world.
