WiMax is ready?
WiMax has the potential to make broadband Internet access faster and more accessible for a lot of people. However, it was supposed to be a year or two away from any type of serious deployment. Surprise! Earlier this week, Intel deployed a demo WiMax network that covered all of metro Las Vegas for this year's Interop 2005 conference. And the demo version has been getting 7 Mbps to 12 Mbps - even out in the desert on the outskirts of the city.

Bill Gates has been reading my blog again
Remember the post I made on April 12 about the U.S. education system falling behind in science and high-tech education? Well, on Monday, Bill Gates gave a talk to the Society of American Business Editors & Writers in which he said, "the United States is in grave danger of losing its economic advantages to fast-growing nations like China, unless the country restores its lead in education and other policies supporting growth." The News.com article also mentioned, "Cisco Systems and Intel executives also have cast recent spotlights on the need to improve schools, and particularly math and science education, in order to remain competitive."
Of course, the likelihood that Bill Gates actually read my blog is as infinitesimal as the universe is large. Still, I appreciate Bill's support on this issue. :-)
