Broadband Technologies.

Nathan Davison discusses various broadband technologies: BPL, 802.16 "WiMax" Wireless, Fiber to the Home, "Stratellite" Broadband and ADSL2/ADSL2+. The conclusion: "When it comes down to it, each technology is racing towards the finish line, with the winner defined as the first technology that can adequately deliver speedy, cost effective and easily accessible broadband. Even if such a technology can be implemented widespread, it is likely we'll keep seeing more and more methods to truly blanket as much of the world as possible. After all, the broadband market is far from its peak, and there is always room for competition wherever physically possible. It is an exciting time for prospective and current broadband users. Even if your high-speed haven isn't directly in your sight, you can at least rest easy knowing it is only a matter of time."
