Wireless Broadband headed to rural areas?

Wireless broadband may get more spectrum (via Cnet), Wi-Fi on Steroids Heads for U.S. (via Wired).

Long story short: wireless broadband is being tested for remote areas.

We live in a remote area.

Satellite internet is awful. How bad? I cancelled DirecWay to go back to dialup. That bad.

Please hurry. I’m connecting at 21.6 kbps through my phone line… on good days.
