I run an ISP (www.acecape.com), and our main office is not far from Intrepid (325 W38 st, between 8 and 9th). We should be able to get roof access, we have a FDDI of bandwidth and would be able to increase our bandwidth cap. We probably won't be cheap though ;) I'm not sure if we have direct LOS to intrepid from roof, but I'll check that tonight. let me know where your office is, and I'll check LOS to you as well. -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org
