So now we have a two megabit circuit but no Internet. It's just like buying a T-1 line (E-1, actually -- the European data standard that runs at 2.048 megabits-per-second) for, say $30. But to turn that into an Internet connection, one end has to be plugged to an Internet backbone. There are many ways to do this. Put one end of the circuit at your business. Put one end at your school. Put one end in the machine room at a local ISP. [emphasis added]
And those "many ways to do this" would be...?
This toothsome morsel reminds me of the old Steve Martin routine on "How to Live on A Million Dollars": "Step 1: Getamilliondollars. Step 2: ...".
There's always a step in these grandiose plans that seem to equate to the "Then a Miracle Happens" step from high school Chemistry!
But I am curious, how do you get your dry copper pair attached to the Internet (without having to threaten bodily damage to the drones at the CO)?
