Toilet Powered Broadband To Speed Up The UK
There is a lot of serious discussion going on regarding yesterday's announcement about version targeting in IE8, so I thought we could take a time out, an short break in the heavy thinking with this brief interlude.
The UK has been slipping behind in broadband speeds recently and it looks like it will cost a lot to catch up and install the upgraded fibre that we need. That is, until the BBC reported today that it is possible to lay these super-fast broadband cables in the sewers to save money.
Is it just me or does this sound a lot like a scheme Google announced in April last year? If my toilet can give me a 100mbps connection, I'll be happy. I'm just glad I won't be the one laying the fibre!
Now, back to the debate!
