South Korea to shame us all via the internet

        It seems that South Korea once again wins the prize for craziest plans for the internet. granted England also has some very ambitious plans for their country. England is hoping to have a country wide Wi-Fi which a very ambitious project that I am very jealous of living in the U.S.

       The only major Wi-FI plans I have read about in the U.S. recently is that the Bart system that runs through San Francisco will now have a Wi-Fi cloud that covers the entire train system. Granted it's a start, having Wi-Fi all the way to work so you can put the finishing touches on that project, or learn that the meeting has been moved before you even arrive to work will be very useful to those in need. 

      I only hope that South Koreas plan works better than what was tried in Portland Oregon. There was A failed attempt to bring ad based but all be it free Wi-Fi to the West Coast city. It's biggest problem was if you where more than fifteen feet away from a node good luck getting it to work. Though in South Korea they are going to try and have one gigabyte connection speed throughout almost all of the country. Granted as being a nation under fifty thousand square miles would be a little easier to cloud up compared the U.S.'s size of nearly five million square miles. 

     I wish South Korea the best of luck to get this project up and running by 2012. Once again they are putting all of us to shame in the U.S. may only hope is that we get rid of caps for downloading and have moved to at least thirty megabyte speed. Ugh, I know that's not a very high speed but it is far better than companies still claiming speeds under one megabyte are high speed.
